I grew up in central California in the 1950s-60s. I sadly did not learn Portuguese, which was Dad's first language, but we attended Our Lady of Fatima celebrations. Because of Dad's ideas and some of what I saw at the gatherings, I grew up with the impression of Portuguese culture as being patriarchal and somewhat misogynistic. I know that was a flawed impression. I'm interested in learning more about cultural and societal matters (history and changes) in Portugal. Feminism? The LGBTQIA+ community?

This is wonderful. If I had the ability, I would move to Portugal.

Thank you for this delightful history. Part of my heritage is Portuguese. My great grandparents moved to California from the Azores. My dad and his father were born in California. Dad's stepmother insisted on Portuguese being spoken in the home, so Dad always had a bit of an accent. I never learned the language, but our family did attend Our Lady of Fatima celebrations. I have an MHz subscription, which allows me to "travel" to many places. One series I watched not too long ago was Hidden Theories, taking place in Lisbon. ⤵️ A note: the captions and then transcript don't capture some of the terms you use, such as the term for the blue tiles. I have a severe hearing loss, so I couldn't make it out.

Have you been in GNRx in Braga? Sonic Youth Lee Ranaldo is playing there in one independent partnership.

Obrigado ❤

Look as Fado de Coimbra, very diferent, and the Coimbra Guitar, very diferent...the story an traditions are very diferent.. (sorry for the poor English)

You have a very good pronunciation of the Portuguese names. Hats off to you!

Muito obrigado por seu amor do querido Portugal 🇵🇹… e a música dela!

You may check for Carlos Paredes work on the portuguese guitar.

What to say about you guy's! Your just fantastic. Enjoy Portugal and is culture. Long life to your channel!

The theory of making everything arab, is a lisbon jewish thing. In the north nothing is arab or jewish, it is celtic, roman and North Portuguese. When the Arabs appeared, already greeks and romans wrote about us for many centuries before. The Ukalele was the little Braga guitar, called Braguinha. Great video.

❤❤ Awesome❤❤

Excelente vídeo! Mas Portugal tem 885 anos e não 2000.

Well you may not know but there is another important genre of music in Portugal which "Vila Morena" shares. It is "Cante Alentejano" and is a Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO

Congratulations on this brief history of Portuguese music. I don't know what the themes of the next videos that you will be, but I would like to highlight Marta Pereira da Costa in two videos one in "Tiny Desk Concert" and another in "Millenium stage" at Kennedy Center and in this particulary concert at 23 minutes timeline you can listen to portuguese music (that make my skin blow up) followed by a song that you will reconize and than she explain the razon, also I would like to indicate Gisela João in "Sr. Extraterrestre" and this is a fado music but not melancolic and the lyrics are intuitive with the cartoons. Again thks for the video

"Grândola Vila Morena" wasn't banned, actually.

Beautiful! Sad to see our country being destroyed by corrupt politicians and people that just forgot where we came from who made us and what we are. Thanks for reminding us.

❤

Nice video. As a Portuguese, I am really grateful for it. Sadly, it isn't particularly historically accurate. But thank you nevertheless.

Love my country 🇵🇹! Tanks ❤️🤩

So.. Willie Nelson is the modern day equivilant of Dom Dinis? 😉 I saw you put him in there in the row of pictures of minstrals (2:31). Beautiful made video! Looking at the way things go in several countries around the world, revolutionary songs will be of major importance the coming years.....

Dom Dinis was one of best kings ever, not only of Portugal, but everywhere. He basically made the foundations for all the greatness that follow.

Show ❤🇵🇹

Loved it! Not so long ago I discovered Vicente Lusitano (c. 1520 - c. 1561). He was a Portuguese composer and music theorist of the late Renaissance. Some of his works on musical theory and a small number of compositions survive. Lusitano was for a time a Catholic priest and taught in several Italian cities, but later converted to Protestantism. He is believed to have been of mixed race. Since the 1980s, he has been described as the first published black composer. As a composer, Lusitano is known for his vocal works, including Latin motets and a madrigal. Musicologist Philippe Canguilhem stated that "the significance of Lusitano’s writings is that they show how central improvised counterpoint was to everyday musical life during the Renaissance.

Love the video and how you connect history to the music culture. So glad we found you channel. We moving to Lisbon in January and your insights are helpful. Thanks.

Great job. Although we're old but ,not with thousands of years YET 😊 the Independence came officially in 1142. Thanks anyway ❤

Stravinsky once said he did not find any music in all Iberia.

Thank for talking about music and linking it to the culture of my country. I think it is an excelent way to represent a part of the people's soul. It would be great if you take the oportunity to do the same with all the cultures that portugual was in contact with. There are so many and all over the world. Throwing random chaotic labels that are only related by their history with portugal, and the mutual cultural influence, like Spain, europe, Moors, africa, india, ottoman, indonesia, china, japan, america, etc So many music and people to discover.

😎😎😎 DON'T FORGET THAT PORTUGAL IS THE ONLY COUNTRY WITH THE MOST GREAT NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CLASSICAL MUSIC COMPOSERS SUCH AS : * Francisco Antonio DE ALMEIDA (born before Amadeus MOZART), * João DE SOUSA CARVALHO, * Marcos PORTUGAL who composed about forty operas, * BRAGA SANTOS, * Antonio TEIXEIRA, * Francisco DE LACERDA, * Luis DE FREITAS BRANCO, * Fernando LOPES GRAÇA, * Rui COELHO, * José VIANA DA MOTA, * Luis COSTA, * Antonio FRAGOSO, * João Lourenço REBELO, * Domingos BOMTEMPO, * Carlos SEIXAS, * LEAL MOREIRA, * ...

4:25 - The first wave of migration from the Azores and Madeira to Hawaii was only in the 19th century, so it could never have been in one of the early ships from the Age of Discoveries.

Obrigada 🙏🏻

Excelent video, thank you!

Obrigado!the world without music would be grey!

Lovely video. You seem to truly understand Portugal's soul. Look into Canção do Mar (Song of the Sea) arranged by Guilherme Inês (my father) sung by Dulce Pontes. It was the main title song in the movie Primal Fear with Richard Gere. It's now one of the 6 portuguese songs chosen to be part of Cancioneiro da União Europeia. I would love to know your thoughts on the song. All the best ❤

La plus belle vidéo du Portugal et de la musique que j'ai vu sur TH-cam. Merci .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇲🇫🇵🇹

hi again, thanks for another very interesting video, on our History , small in size but huge in History.

Your work is fascinating, congrats ;)

The very best video that I already has seen. I am a portuguese guy and I think this is not a five stars video but 10 or 20 stars video. Congratulations. I'm so proud about what you mentioned in this presentation...

Muito bonito. Obrigada.

Fantastic, so well done! Brought tears to my eyes 🥹✨

Thanks for the presentation. Im first generation of Portuguese and Italian. I was surprised you touched the subject of Hawaii...very few people knows about. Obrigadinho!

I love your videos, the way you show and share the culture and history of Portugal is amazing. Btw, a band called Petrus Castrus is one of the most underrated bands of the country, it was censored during the dictatorship and has been forgotten to this day.

Thank you! What a journey through time: architecture, music, musicians, and the spirit of the people, so exuberant, creative, reaching toward freedom. Love this awesome collage of events and architecture, and musical inspiration.

You talked of the portuguese guitar... you should have mention the great Carlos Paredes, he was a genius!

This was a lovely video... If you intend to make a follow-up video (or maybe you already have) regarding the extraordinary muscial creativity that has come out of Portugal, then you will no doubt soon be mentioning Madredeus. You may have already heard their exquisite musicianship coupling unparalleled compositional genius with superbe singing talent without being traditional Fado ( I choose my words carefully). I won't mention names, there are other bands and individuals of immense talent, but most would agree Madredeus really occupies a special place in Portuguese music since the 80's.

Dom Dinis was also known as "O Lavrador" (The Farmer) for ordering the plantation of pine trees near the coast, to protect it of erosion, then used later in ship construction. Dom Duarte Pio is the current heir to the throne, married with Isabel de Herédia. their descendants are Afonso, Maria and Dinis. they still are very respected and loved by all portuguese, yet very wise in keeping themselves outside media focus and thus not widely known by foreigners.

another great video - thank you for sharing the cultural richness and history of this very special country through your lens of music

Do a research about musica barroca portuguesa and Carlos Seixas. Not very well known, unfortunately.

Well, Portugal is old even by European country standards but not 2000 years old. It is about 840 years old. I don't really know what Alliance with England you are referring to, but the Treaty of Windsor had already been established in 1386, give or take. However, I did enjoy the video .

Thank you for recognizing and appreciating our existence, history and culture. You are special and I am truly honored that you have choosen to live thru music, amongst us.
