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.
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.
Not agree that they are respected and loved by all in Portugal. Mostly ignored. But there are some that want the return of the Monarchy. Not many though.
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.
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...
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!
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.
We knew that we were jumping ahead chronologically at that point, but we wanted to make the connection--that it was due to Portugal's discovery and habitation of Madeira that the ukelele came to be!
@@musicianslife360 - I understand but just as the wording confused me, it might have confused others who don't know about Portugal's history as well as I do. 🙂
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.
Your voices are like musical velvet to me. It emphasizes the narrative of History and Music, a breeze of innovation and creativity that was already missing. If you are not a musical group, you have to form a duo because you are both excellent. Congratulations, it's a "kind of magic"🎶 what you do...
Thank you so much for the beautiful compliment! We are each artists with our own albums and recordings out, but we do perform together sometimes. So glad you enjoyed the video!
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.
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, * ...
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 ❤
@musicianslife360 I should have posted the link 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/v_2fyB4dj4U/v-deo.htmlsi=n8O9cv451X_MUU-f I am currently shooting a documentary film about my father's music. He played with Zeca Afonso, Paulo de Carvalho and Júlio Pereira, all featured in your video. This was a groundbreaking moment for his career and portuguese music as well. It's our unofficial anthem. I hope you enjoy it.
Look at Fado de Coimbra, very diferent, and the Coimbra Guitar, very diferent...the story and the traditions are very diferent to.. (sorry for the poor English)
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
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.....
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.
So sorry that that term did not translate into captions or transcript! Some Portuguese words are challenging for the translation apps. The Portuguese tiles are called "azulejos."
We are referring to the settlements of the Celts, Lusitanians, Romans, etc.,-- those who left structures that we can still see today. They occupied the land that is now known as Portugal and contributed to its culture, landscape, and architecture. In the U.S., we have no structures like these that are thousands of years old.
Would you like to comment on Carlos Paredes? How long do you live around Portugal ? 😊 In fact, "E depois do Adeus" was written by José Niza, while he was in Africa.
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
I would like remember also Ana Moura in "Dia de Folga" also a fado but not melancolic and with humor. you coming from Nashville, I would recommend "Quinta do Bill in no trilho do Sol" or "Quinta do Bill in Voa".
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.
Thank you for watching! No country is perfect, as we know, but hopefully when greatness is highlighted, it can inspire and encourage those kinds of moments to flourish.
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 .
We're not talking about Portugal as an established nation, but as a settled place, which occurred even before the Roman Empire. The Celts, Pre-Celts, Lusitanians, and so on, had some of the oldest settlements in Europe. Sorry for any confusion!
@musicianslife360 well, fair enough, although that starts to become a bit too vague for my personal taste. For many reasons, including current political ones, I like to make these distinctions as clear as possible (as much as history can allow).
@@musicianslife360 - Also, the moors never took over Portugal because Portugal didn't even exist at that time. What they took over was what's now the Iberian Peninsula. If anything, it was us who took over a part of it from them.😉
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.
We're doing our best! We might have gotten a couple of things a little off in the timeline, but we just wanted to point out a few of the cool things that we've come across in Portugal's history.
Fernando Lopes Graça it's not barroque but a very famous composer from the early 1900's, here's a video performance by a netherland's choir singing in portuguese: ua-cam.com/video/TedX_kY0yVo/v-deo.html
For us, it's not about when the nation of Portugal began, but about the heritage of this country, as can still be seen in the ancient structures of the peoples who lived here--the ruins, bridges, roads, castles, etc.,, from the Romans, Celts, Moors, and so on. They contributed to the rich heritage that is Portugal. In comparison, the U.S. has no structures like this.
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.
Your genuine display of affection and respect for Portugal is truly heart-warming! Welcome to our little corner of the globe!
Thank you! It's great to be here.
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.
Thank you for sharing your culture with us!
You talked of the portuguese guitar... you should have mention the great Carlos Paredes, he was a genius!
@@MiaJoaoSilva we need to discover Carlos Paredes, thanks for the tip!
@@musicianslife360 You will be amazed, check the music "Verdes anos"
@@musicianslife360 You should listen to "Verdes Anos". Makes many portuguese cry, like me...😊
Here's a rare and astonishing performance by the master of Portuguese guitar.

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.
There was so much to say about Dinis that we couldn't include it all! He was quite remarkable.
Not agree that they are respected and loved by all in Portugal. Mostly ignored.
But there are some that want the return of the Monarchy.
Not many though.
Amazing vídeo in short frames you describe Portugal 🇵🇹
