Missing Portugal

This traditional Portuguese miners’ song transports you to a world of hard work, camaraderie, and perseverance. The recording is part of A Música Portuguesa a Gostar Dela Própria, a remarkable project by Tiago Pereira that documents Portugal’s musical traditions for future generations. Born of the arduous lives led by generations of miners, this song—and the accompanying video—brings a piece of intangible heritage to life and demonstrates how music preserves memories.

Have a lovely Sunday!
