A year later, what has changed? There are more people singing and “this is good,” says Paulo Lima, responsible for the application of the Alentejo sing the Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
“We had weekends free, but it was by choice “said Carlos Paraíba, tester Coral and Ethnographic Group of Serpa People’s House, the DN. “I always had a lot of performances, but now more,” he adds. Between October 25 and November 11, were in Toronto for a series of concerts.
The Coral Group was also Beja. And that’s one of the differences that Carlos Paraíba is this past year between November 27, 2014, in which UNESCO raised the polyphonic singing of Alentejo to the intangible heritage category of humanity and today, the day that begins the CanteFest, an event organized by the House of Sing in concluding way this first year, when so many new groups have formed and young people joined the race. “The group has 16 elements, between 18 and 25 years, and sing very well. They have a nice group.”
“In fact, taking some work with singers and singers, what has changed is that there is more listening sing and otherwise to hear. It was less appreciated and seen otherwise, “he says.
Or, as the anthropologist Paulo Lima, one responsible for the presentation of Sing’s candidature the intangible heritage, “when I shook for Paris was unthinkable fill the CCB [Centro Cultural de Belém in Lisbon], nor the Small Auditorium, the more the Great”. And yet, in March this year took place.
“The sing ceased to be local to be global,” he says. “He became in economic output,” he said. Is that good or bad? “It is still early to assess” he says. But the case is under review this weekend in one of the initiatives of this CanteFest on Saturday at 17.00 in the house of Sing in Serpa. The festival is divided between Lisbon and Alentejo town. “He opened up space for other sing. Groups are more ordered, more and more young people live around the sing and more requests to experience the sing,” also notes Paulo Lima.
This is just one aspect, believes:. “The Alentejo gained an identity reinforcement with this application”
The Peasants of Pias, for example, made the difference this year. Bought an old tavern – this place is part of the history of sing -. And it became the place where rehearse and open to the public
Pedro Mestre, singer and tester of various groups in the municipality of Castro Verde, the person behind the Sing in the School program that takes this music to students of the first cycle, says this is one of Sing’s needs: there are places to hear sing, as there is for fado. “Where there is a space to hear sing in Alentejo ?, asks while passing the ball to the manager of the area in order to create infrastructures so that there may be an agenda around sing.”
“We also do not advocate that the singers are to be concerned about going behind the counter serving glasses of wine,” counters Peter. “The sing can happen spontaneously but there has to be this,” he says. This year they left over requests to attend rehearsals of the groups. “How does a group work?”. Master Peter says he prefers not to have assistance in the trials. “If I need to work with someone I can not when they are others around.”
Pedro keeps the same 800 students who had a year ago, launched a drive to violate Campaniça, rehearses groups, supports others helped give birth to the Young Women’s Sing but shows some pessimism. “The chant is rich and diverse, but we are losing quality and diversity. There people go to the Internet to learn to sing,” he notes.
He says that in one year a lot has happened, “the positive and the negative” . “There’s more respect for sing. We spent a monotony in which people considered a derogatory way, not acarinhavam. He began to be talked out there and we are so. For we are valuing need someone in values,” notes the singer. On the negative side, he says, “sing the holders are those who will less profit from the cante, the purest are those who maintain the same life.
A festival to celebrate sing
The CanteFest today starts wants to be more than a shred of sing groups. Want to be rather a “polyphony festival”, according to Paulo Lima. Friday, at 21:00, the Convento de S. Paulo Serpa open to various ways of singing with performances of Rancho Coral and Ethnographic of Vila Nova de S. Bento, the adufeiras of Monsanto and Cuncordu Lussurzesu of Santu Lussurgiu, Sardinia, and the Peasants Sinks .
The festival moved to Lisbon on Sunday. At 10:00, it is inaugurated Sing the photo exhibition in Paris, José Serrano and shows the magazine “Tradition”, at 15.00, before the conference on polyphony with Italian Paolo Scarnecchia and the performance of the Choir and Ethnographic “Friends of Alentejo” do Feijó.
The closing show is scheduled for St. Dominic’s Church, at 19.00, with the performance of the Coral and Ethnographic Group of Serpa of the House of Commons in collaboration with the singer Ricardo Ribeiro. Another genre whose entry into the UNESCO list is celebrated by now. Four years ago.
This collaboration is one of several that the Serpa group has done this year and that includes a version of “Circus of Beasts” of the Creed, adapted by Paulo Ribeiro musician. Carlos Paraíba think was “beautiful.” But one of you liked more involved Philharmonic Serpa, and a concert in the Republic Square in Serpa. “With all those instruments, was a very beautiful work,” he says.
Whether enthusiastic about these projects, as set foot on earth. “These are works that are beautiful but that’s not the crows that he went to Paris.”
The sing off sing
The purpose of the variations around the sing, come talk to the birth of the project Such What with John Gil, Celina da Piedade, Vitorino, Tim, Jorge Palma and Paulo Ribeiro. “. They do not define the sing Alentejo but it is good to sing I think very well,” says Carlos Paraíba
Paul Lima simplifies:.. “The future will tell whether the projects are good or not will always be a process that happens in these cases. It happened in fate, “recalls Paulo Lima, who was also attached to this application and is also engaged in the manufacture of rattles. “And Such What draws attention to sing,” she says, adding a story. “In Portel appeared a group that used instruments, everyone loathed it. But it was a phenomenon that drew attention to others. They have creative freedom and all have their space,” he believes.
Now that the sing is a global heritage, wants to launch the debate in another direction. “I want to do something else. Having other discussions around the sing. I do not want to concentrate everything in Serpa. We want to promote meetings,” explains about the program, which were left out of the Alentejo Sing group shows. “Nobody wants to hear”
