Welcome to my channel!
I’m Ralph Vogelsang, father of 2 lovely daughters, who fell in love with life and nature very early as a young boy in Germany. After studying Biology and working in Genomics 🧬 industry I started my journey (and the UA-cam channel) to the Algarve in 2021. I bought an old farmhouse with a spectacular view onto a nature reserve. Together with a fantastic team of workers we transform the farmhouse and the land into a little paradise to realize my dream: Create a retreat & education center to enjoy the beauty of life, nature and human artwork.

Your place would be ideal for weddings
So true, I have already a playbook for a wedding ceremony in mind. We hope to be able to offer this from summer 2026 onwards. 😍
…This is what life is about: Enjoying life’s precious moments ~summertime at it’s finest~! Maria “the golden throat” Anadon was an absolute marvel and loved her charismatic take on the classics! A true songbird in her own right!! The soulful sax and skilful band completed the ambiance! Such a wonderful event and was lovely to hear your inclusive vision with events like these at CBV for likeminded creative & nature-lovers….something that adds value & seems to be very much needed in these times, -such a appreciated gift to the Algarve! Thank you for the inspiration as always Ralphie 😘🌈🥰
Muito Obrigado Kukka! 🙏 we had more than 50% new attendees here in the Songbird. It’s wonderful to see the music and nature loving community emerging. A wonderful opportunity to connect like minded human beings ☺️👍😍
Hello🙋♀️ I am sure I saw you at the cafe “Bean 17” in Loule. I wanted to say “Hello” but you were in deep conversation, and I did not want to disturb you. Enjoy the Concert 🎶 I would loved to have been there...🌞
🙏 Alison, we had a fantastic concert, I will publish a video about a few concerts here at the Algarve as a summary in a few weeks maybe you have time to join the Tammy Weis concert on August 03 in person.
Hi Ralph, good job 👏 What a welcoming person you are !! I Liked the Event a lot, Maria Anadon, has a Beautiful voice and socialising in a such peaceful place like yours must be so relaxing 🫠. I am looking for the next one 😀
Muito Obrigado Marta! 🙏☺️ makes me really happy that you liked it and hope that you join a concert in person one day. ☺️
@ralphalgarve I did email you for the next one, see you guys, soon ☺️
Maria Anadon, always The Queen! ;) Great show, congratulations to all involved!
Muito Obrigado, she was just AMAZING 🤩
Bom Dia Ralph. Another great event at CBV and it looked like perfect weather too. It was good to see that you introduced Jorge and Vladimir to the crowd as they are an integral part of this adventure. Best wishes. John
Muito Obrigado John, yes, we had a really good time, more than 100 music lovers, and only happily smiling faces around. Good vibes ☺️👍🎵 Will try to publish a new private video update soon in the ABCD channel!
Thank you for sharing.
☺️🙏 de nada
❤️
🙏
Hello Ralph, I’m sure it will be great , will try to watch the livestream from Paris and hope I’ll be in the Algarve for a live show one day! 😎
Hi Liz, hope you liked the event on Saturday. Warm regards to Paris and all the best with the Olympics.
hi Ralph how come you don't show videos about your villa anymore.
Hey Philip, thanks for your question! I still do! I announced already in my previous videos a few times that I have split my YT channel into a public and a more private one, which is now called ABCD. This stands for Architecture Beauty Creativity & Design. I can give access to anybody who is interested in that. Just send me an email and you can watch everything that has been going on here since a few months. Its free, you just need to send an email and introduce you a bit, so that I know you a bit better. It´s like inviting a friend into your private space, thats all. kind regards Ralph
How wonderful! I can imagine being with you for the concert. Dreamy! Congratulations and enjoy! Colorado Cherri
YES! muito obrigado, dreams coming true here every day, just magic.....
So wonderful Ralphie you have such a great connection with Fernando Tavares, bringing together both these high quality beautiful songbird-performers to the Algarve 🤩🎉!! …Shame I will miss them both this time ☺️, l would have especially loved to have come and see Maria Anadon performing, her voice is pure soft velvet magic with Portugal in her heart😍!!…im also very intrigued about Tammy Weis, especially those songs depicting the Portuguese poet…that is something that requires something special creatively….There’s something utterly special keeping the rich local culture alive in these modern times with an international flavour… thats true evolving art ♥️🔥…shivers go through my spine just thinking about this!…I look very much forward to the concerts on live streaming whilst packing for my adventures. Thank you Ralphie once again for inspiring us all 🌟🎉😘
Thank you so much Kukka🙏 It´s really a shame that you can´t be here in person for the concert. We can feel pretty honored to host these amazing musicians in the Songbird. Both have a special relation to the wonderful Portuguese tradition and history of music and poets. We will have some good surprises left for their performances...😍
Ola Ralph thanks for this beautiful sunrise. The flowers looking so beautiful., I love your place or a lifestyle you having 😅. Nice, more concerts is coming or a beautiful way to socialise. See you soon.
Obrigado Marilia, yes, socialise is the right word, it´s not only a concert but also bringing wonderful people together....
I look forward to these concerts. You have created something wonderful for all.
Thanks Mike, it was always a dream to share wonderful things with the world..😇
@@ralphalgarve ❤
First oh yeah 😂 ❤
good job!😂
Wonderful to see the highlights of the Saturday concert after experiencing the live feed…the impressions & vibes: just fabulous 💃🎉🔥!! So lovely to see the local community, artists and great minds alike coming together and chilling out & enjoying togetherness on such a fine Saturday afternoon too😍🎉!! Great feel good music and you could tell that the band & the singer has been playing together for years…the warmth, joy and terrific artistry wrapped around in nature: A real treat , that’s where the magic is and what we in danish call true “hygge” !!Thank you for the F.T Trio & Lidia and last but not least, Ralphie 😍, the brainchild of it all 🥰🙏🏻😘
Muito Obrigado Kukka 🙏😇 you describe it so beautifully 🥰 everybody had a smile on his / her face when I watched the scenery around me. Fills my heart with pleasure, joy and so much gratitude 🙏 ❤️
Still as beautiful from a different perspective. Thank you Ralph.
You’re welcome. I always like to show in my videos how it feels to be in the crowd…☺️👍
Hi Ralph. Late to the party here. What a wonderful event and such a beautiful evening. Please keep posting on these events. We hope to make it there for one of these events.
Hey Tina, Glad to see you’re back! It would be a pleasure to welcome you again to one of my future concerts here at Casa Bela Vista. 😇
Bom dia Ralph. I don't know why but this did not show up on my YT feed until last night. I really enjoyed your excursion to town and the market. It felt like I was there much like I do at the CBV. How far is Loule from the casa? That Mustang looks really good in the fresh summer air of Portugal. Best wishes my friend, John.
Muito Obrigado John, funny that you missed this one. Sometimes things happen that we don’t need to understand. It’s a magical 15 minutes ride down to Loulé. It feels like being in an 60tees movie, a wonderful winding road alongside a river with amazing trees and views 🤩
Fantastic Band!!! Congratssss and thank you for sharing this moment with us! Hugs from Brazil!
You are very welcome , it’s a pleasure 🙏☺️
Hi Ralph, Hello from Australia. Congratulations on what you are building there in Loulè, not only an amazing home but a beautiful community. I’d really love to join your ABCD Architecture Beauty Creativity and Design group. All the very best wishes Elvio
