Portugese students and folkmusic 1987

Next to the two Fado's of Maria da Fé, I also found Coimbra students and two folkloristic scenes on the Portugal promotion tape of 1987. PS Normal quality coding on old material

In correction, this type of music is called "Canção de Coimbra", Fado is form Lisbon.

this type of music is called "fado", and it's usual that portuguese college students sing or listen to it. I'm a portuguese student, and these songs, remind me of my life in my university...

This is the opposite of the folklore since it was sung and played by the students of Coimbra, who were traditionally from well-to-do families. This the intelectual's music. Rural music sounds entirely different and has different instruments: Please search for "Cavaquinho".

Thanks for saving and posting this - it is now a historical document, since most of the old folklore is now endangered, with the demise of the rural world...

For the record, the last song refers to "eat, drink and never work" as a joke, since rural work was the rule and this people's sole livelihood. Cheers!

The first intervention, is not exactly folklore...its student's song, may be with origin in medieval "Trovador ".
