inally a show that offers an authentic vision into Portugal's regional folklore".

"From Tras-os-Montes to Ribatejo and Minho to the Beira's region, you'll witness Portugal's great folk traditions".

Aldina Cordeiro – Portuguese Folclklore Federation

 

 


Portuguese Folklore is extremely varied because of the isolation that various regions had between them.  Whether it be because of bad ground access, or to poor communications due to the natural rugged terrain of the Portuguese territory, many regions were left untouched for many years, therefore, our folklore holds cultural influences left behind by cultures that once lived and conquered Portuguese lands.

Within this rich mixture of cultures, you'll find dances with autocnes, Celt and Roman influences, or even the assimilation of the French acculturation left by the renascence, in fact, you'll find a little of everything in Portugal's traditional folklore.  This diversity gives our unique show a colourful environment that covers Portuguese regions as if a true image of distant lands were presented to you.  Come see traditional outfits, typical dances and listen to the rhythms of a once lost Portugal, that yet, today, continues to live it's rich heritage.

At Páteo de Alfama, you'll witness the magnificently coloured outfits from Minho and it's joyful dances and enjoy the "cortizen influences" of the "Estremenhas Dance".  Come feel the simplicity and coloured rhythm from the "People of Nazaré" and rejoice with the "Pauliteiros de Miranda" and the masculine "Fandango Ribatejano" performance!  All this presented to you in a seamless show filled with, dance, music, colour and above all, the true heart of Portuguese heritage!
