A insustentável leveza do cante
On November 27, 2014, the Alentejo Cante was declared Intangible Cultural Heritage by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). As was explained in the application, the “song of the land” is type of collective, polyphonic singing, in a slow tempo, nearly always melancholic, without resorting to instruments. It combines music and poetry, and it is geographically associated with Lower Alentejo, portraying the “umbilical relationship between the worker and their motherland”.
In a partnership with Museu do Cante de Serpa, São Luiz will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its status as Intangible Cultural Heritage with Livro Segundo, op.57, from the Novíssimo Cancioneiro by Nuno Côrte-Real (1971). Dedicated to Maria Pinto Cortez and her Cancioneiro de Serpa (1994), an essential ethnographic collection compiled over a lifetime and profusely illustrated by the author, Livro Segundo, op.57 is also the result of an ethnographic collection carried out in Serpa by the composer who, due to occasional family circumstances, spent his childhood there.
