Going to
abroad made me not only know other different cultures, but also discover more about my own cultural heritage. Our music teacher invited
us to participate in the music´s evaluation and challenged us to prepare
something that was attached to our culture.
When you
talk about Portuguese music it is impossible don´t mention Fado, our biggest treasure. Fado means destiny.
For the
first part we prepared a moment of listening. Music doesn’t need words to be understandable. We asked for
the group to close their eyes and listen two plays of Fado and try to feel
what the singer was singing.
On the
second part we taught to dance Malhão, an ancient and typical dance from the
North part of Portugal. After a while the whole group was already dancing with
some confidence.
Learning this dance it was really fun and the whole group was excited to have participates in such a special moment.
In here you can listen the tracks used in this session:
