  • @zecamalho in the U.S., buying from local small farms is gaining popularity. The number of farms has actually increased in my state (Massachusetts) in the last few years. Many people are willing to pay higher prices for their produce, especially if it is organic. Hopefully this trend will take root in Alentejo also.

  • @pbhello They sing the soul of the people of Alentejo, a portuguese region in the south of the country.

    It's a region very poor, mainly with old people, ancient country workers. Today there's almost no work at all, 'cause no one is no longer interested in agriculture. Sad, very sad.

  • @luisdias84 thank you!

  • @pbhello

    Alentejo Alentejo/ Holy land of the bread/ I will go to Alentejo/ Even if it's summer/ To see the golden of the wheat/ In the immense loneliness/ Alentejo Alentejo/ Holy land of the bread// I owe the land/ The land owes me/ The land pays me in life/ I'll pay the land when I die/ I owe the land/ I owe the land/ The land owes me

  • Todos podem ouvir mas o Alentejano verdadeiro sente na alma cada sílaba desta letra. É inevitável perder-se, mas jamais se pode esquecer. Grande bem haja a uma cultura que me ensinou tantos bons valores.

  • quando vejo este video dá-me vontade de mandar a musica prá veia.

  • @joraga2000 nunca tinha ouvido tal coisa. no entanto também sou um leigo nessa matéria. mas sou alentejano e digo-te o seguinte... estes gajos até podiam estar vestidos à Elvis Presley a cantar numa casino de Las Vegas que eu chorava à mesma, tal como a diferença entre estes gajos e o meu avô que ainda vai para o campo com 85 anos de idade desde criança é que o meu avô não sabe cantar.

    o hábito não faz o monge

  • @codex010 obrigado!

  • @pbhello Alentejo sacred land.

    I'll come to Alentejo even if it is summer time.

    Sacred Bread Land!

    I owe the Land

    The Land owes me

    The land pays me in my life time

    I pay the land in my dying.

  • PROUD TO BE PORTUGESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
