Amazing arrangement. Sounds very African to me, Zulu or South African. Thank you very much for posting this publicly! One of the incredible moments and blessings of UA-cam, without a doubt.
Superb musicians across the board -- no finer singers anywhere, and the ancient instruments, the cornett, the lute, the percussion, the string bass, the viola da gamba -- and any I didn't mention -- simply all are superb.
She really hasn't done any research, if this is the way she introduces a musical satire of slaves' music without reference to their social condition, except to suggest they were mere cultural curiosities in Portugal.
Hallo Bram, I thought the same as you, she doesn't pronounce it clearly, but it cannot be because there were no African slaves in the 10th century, at least, I don't know that. Cheers.
Interesting that Christina Pluhar chose this music without any attention to the racial prejudice, as an excellent "jazzy" find. imitating slaves that "lived" in Portugal in the 17th century. These slaves in Portugal were brutaly tortured and should not have another satirical interpretation in the 21 century. The music is beautiful but the morality of repeating a satirical piece without an explanation of the brutality of the times is careless and indicative of white privileged perspective.
I am with you in this thinking. However another way of thinking might be that one culture finds a liberty in another. The "orientalisation" we know in the west ... a lot. We are an exploratory civilization, and we find ripe ground for exploration in the widest of places. I know what you are saying, but I find this music so attractive, I need to think it through. I reacted against another piece recently, an Australian piece that used indigenous song to introduce and cushion a very important traditional song ("Waltzing matilda"). A solid philosophy needs to be in place before one "acquires" or "borrows"from other cultures, ... or even uses their forms as a liberalization ( I am avoiding saying this music is sending up the African slave's culture ... maybe too generous of me)
It's even more interesting that you choose to believe an atonement is still necessary for something centuries old. I find your argument only serves a purpose of giving you some sort of moral high ground. If it were up to you then, the manuscripts of otherwise clever and lovely music should be destroyed in the name of an extremely random atonement.
Who could know...I imagined slaves were living the lives of English kings??? The music is a monument to their suffering, and you are just being a pompous , well - no body....Intelligenti pauca*
I never get tired of listening to this!
Bravo une fois de plus Madame Pluhar!
J'adore, Christina Phular a un talent fou à mettre en union des groupes divers

Christina did a formidable work of research.

Geweldig! Samen muziek maken!
lindo
Holy shit this is good
where can you find a a copy of this music!!!!
That's his concentration face :P
I think she's saying the 10th (dixième) century.
Hallo Bram, I thought the same as you, she doesn't pronounce it clearly, but it cannot be because there were no African slaves in the 10th century, at least, I don't know that. Cheers.
Nor was there a Portugal for that...
grandes músicos! Muy buen trabajo sin embargo les falta sabor a "negrillo"
Very "fake" portuguese.
Pena que não saibam pronunciar a letra da canção como deveria ser cantada! Learn Portuguese!
tais falando de qual canção? espero que no mínimo você seja formado em música filho.
Isto não é Português de propósito. Há que ouvir o que é dito no documentário antes de dizer barbaridades!
