This was a joy to watch as well as listen. Two great ensembles - the singers and the musicians. What is telling is how much fun (or was it joy?) the King's Singers had in performing the song.

Entre mis villancicos predilectos, vale este en vieja lengua criollo-portuguesa del golfo de Guinea, cuya antigüedad nos remonta a la época boyante de negreros y esclavos arrancados a su tierra que cantan el nacimiento de aquel niño dios tan pobre como ellos: « Sa qui turo zente pleta / He he / turo zente de Guine / he he / tambor, flauta y cassaeta / Y carcavena sua pé / he he he he / Vamos o fazer huns fessa / o menino Manue / he he he Canta Baciao / canta tu Thome / canta tu canta tu / canta Flansiquia / canta Caterija / canta tu canta tu / Canta tu Flunando /Canta tu Resnando / Canta tu / Canta tu / Oya, oya… » "Manuscrito de Santa Cruz" (Coimbra, 1643).

ES difícil ser extranjero (sobretodo anglosaxonico) y querer cantar interpretando el tan específico criollo portugués. Soy portuguesa y conozco bien el acento característico del criollo y el acento de lusoafricano-hablantes que aún se parece a lo que escribieron en estos villancicos. Este cantar sería tambiénuna caricatura de los pobres esclavos negros, o simplemente niños. EN los manuscritos viene "escrito en léngua de negro", lo que tiene mucha gracia.
Me encantó!!!! Hermosas voces, hermosa interpretación de todos. Destaco lo que disfrutan al ejecutar la obra, esto se traslada directamente a la música resultante. Felicitaciones!!!
2:01 - that's an "I have the best job *ever*" look if I ever saw one :D Clearly they are all having too much fun. Bought the album on the strength of this vid. Love!
i've been baffled by the 37 dislikes. how is it possible someone would downvote this? now the video is over, i know: the detractors disliked the fact the video does not go on forever ... or isn't at least twice as long. makes sense.
Not sure if I'm answering your query but the improvised (?) solo played by the gentleman is on a cornett - an instrument often used along with sackbutts (trombones) in the 16/17th century. The cornett's usually played by trumpet players today due to the mouthpiece.
Thanks a lot for your quick response! Yes, that one, cornett, I love the sound - could be the wood - and he played really well. Have a great day/evening!
Sorry, Davo D, but there was an instrument called a cornett, now an ancient one with no place in the modern orchestra, and it has nothing to do with a modern brass cornet which is similar to a trumpet, with three valves. A cornett, also known as a cornetto, is always wooden, but with a cup-shaped mouthpiece requiring lip vibrations against it to produce sound, the way modern brass instruments are. The cornett often has leather covering the wood, and the mouthpiece is typically carved from natural animal horn. Finger holes similar to those on a recorder control the pitch. Cornetts could be straight, but more often have curvature and the one in the video does and is typical. There is no doubt whatsoever that what is seen here is a cornett. The cornett was used in the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods and faded from use around 1650, but its use has been revived in performing ancient music from those three periods. By the way, it isn't a "flute" as you called it, because a flute produces sound either by blowing across a mouthpiece hole, much like doing that with a glass bottle, if it's a transverse flute held crosswise, or it uses a fipple in the mouthpiece and produces a sound the way a whistle does. The cornett, as I mentioned uses a cup shape mouthpiece held against the lips and the lips are vibrated to make the sound -- so you can't classify it as a flute.
One issue to consider: it's a colonial piece meant as imitation (one could say mockery) of Africans (likely enslaved people). So, there's racism in the piece. Is it right to ignore this background?
This is what I call music. Pure, melodic, rythm, sublte, soft, balance. It's just perfection. Music at its peek.
And this is one of the best KS lineups ever IMO.
Every time I listen to this I end up with a huge smile. It's wonderful to see the interactions between all the musicians, Love it!!!!
découvert récemment et j’ai eut le plaisir d’un enfant ! ; )
Thank you, this formation of the group is awesome!! BRAVO
Les King singers enfin je les adore .Encore s’il vous plait .
Soltanto i Musicisti di questo livello fanno onore alla più nobile delle Arti: la Musica
Geez, I love and miss Stephen Connolly so much. He is the perfect bass.
Not only perfect. He is the best Bass ever! :)
ichimokuryouzen the current bass is very good too. I find both of them excellent
@@Labialglocke My fave KS bass. But I like his replacement too
Que villanesco tan bonito, qie bien suena, me ha encantado
Perdon,VILLANCICO
Los Impossibles is a brilliant album. Great to see how much fun KS is having here!
Adoro e ascolterei all'infinito....
BRAVO !

hahaha! I LOVE THE LOOKS ON THEIR FACES WHEN THEY SCREW UP! they are human. barely. almost perfect :)
Excellent, a blend of different flavors across centuries...
sencillamente, la combinación perfecta!
J'aime beaucoup ce morceau, il me rappelle ce que fait Jordi Savall et son groupe Hespérion XXI!
Cantate con semplicità, e naturalezza, e con una gran bravura.
Vraiment excellent.. De France.

Simply gorgeous, that bass is unique.
Jolies les percussions qui musiquent !
Wow! Great stuff. These guys are clearly having fun!

¡Bravo, Christina Pluhar!
I still love it!

makes sense.
AND they are jealous of the wonderous music and harmonies too.. The King's Singers are amazing .. :D
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
M A G N I F I Q U E
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow
O Joy !
oui
This is a pretty recent King's Singers lineup.
So did Paul and Robin intentionally go for the matching green sweater set?
To gmartirosyan: the "fa la la" is probabily in an italian madrigale "amor vittorioso". try youtube and you'll fin it (king's singer amor vittorioso).
Örömzene 😊😉
cHRIS
Has anyone seen video where King's Singers and this band are performing a song called "Fa la la"??
1:51 :)
Try looking for "A history of madrigal". Its a sort of documental produced by the BBC with the King's Singers
Quelqu'un peut il me dire où acheter la partition de ce chant magnifique
Excellent! What instrument is the flute type one?

That flute is anything, but certainly not a cornet. A cornet is a trumpet-like instrument and is a brass instrument, not a flute. :D
Davo D The instrument on the recording is a cornett, NOT a cornet.

But not bang up to date because Tyson and Connolly are still there :)
molealto and now there's only Chris left from this constellation 🙂🎼🎶
Una buena aproximación, falta el ritmo auténtico.

Portuguese
A black vilancico and no black singer... tsc, tsc, tsc
Can anyone translate the lyrics into English?

Actually, Pluhar does mention it here: ua-cam.com/video/6xQ79t_ZaKs/v-deo.html. Her narrative seems too rosy to me, though.
So are we just going to block a load of music out of history, how utterly dull.
@@oliviahunt2760 Good point, no no, not block it, just talk about it I think would be nice
Amazing!
Bravissimi!!!!
