Fado Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity!



Watch this short film about Portuguese Fado, the song of Lisbon and Portugal, a song open to the sea and to the world. Take a look at Fado Museum site too! Next Saturday Portuguese will know if Fado makes the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity!

"This intangible cultural heritage, transmitted from generation to generation, is constantly recreated by communities and groups in response to their environment, their interaction with nature and their history, and provides them with a sense of identity and continuity, thus promoting respect for cultural diversity and human creativity.(Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, UNESCO, 2003, (Article 2, line 1)

In June 2010 the Câmara Municipal de Lisboa presented the application of Fado to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (UNESCO), a project created to implement an integrated safeguarding program for the heritage of Fado.

This project’s main goal is to include Fado in the 2011 Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and this decision will be taken at the 6th meeting of the International Committee that will be held in November 2011."

Leave a comment on my wall! Promote yourself!



Hi people! I have closed my Zazzle Store comments wall some months ago. Some people do it because they don't like other Zazzle folks to promote their work over there. That wasn't the reason why I shut it down. I shut it because I did not have the time - and still don't have - to answer back. 

But with the holiday season upon us, I thought it would be nice to make the effort of paying a little attention to you all. I even miss being in touch with some of you. So you're welcome to leave your Christmas and New Years Greeting on my Store wall and prints and links to your Zazzle work. But I will not tolerate other kinds of promotion or spam. Looking forward to your words! I'll return your visit!

More, you know you can always comment on my blog. But if this post gets a significant amount of links I'll tweet it more often! Happy Zazzle spirit to YOU!

New Christmas Greeting cards are ready!



Oh, it has been a strange Sunday. Weather is terrible. At night wind and rain were so noisy that I could not sleep for a couple of hours. I did not make anything creative today. My head hurt all the time. Thunderstorm all day and ice rocks as big as chicken eggs fell from the sky not far from my city! Ohhh I miss summer...and the sun...and the beach!

Check my store for a couple of new greeting cards for the holiday season and a couple of Christmas gifts.

Wish me a good night sleep. I need it so much!
Christmas is coming! card

    This is big news today. Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara surfed a big, big 90 ft - 30 m - wave at Praia do Norte, Nazaré, Portugal. This is the video. Many people doesn't know that portuguese shore has good surf spots. But McNamara isn't a common surfer. He travels the world to surf the biggest waves possible...

Statement by the White House

President Obama will host President Anibal Cavaco Silva of Portugal for a meeting in the Oval Office on Wednesday, November 9th. The President welcomes the opportunity to reciprocate the warm hospitality that he received during his visit to Lisbon in November 2010. The United States and Portugal are strong NATO allies and cooperate closely in the United Nations Security Council, where Portugal currently serves as Council President. President Obama looks forward to consulting with President Cavaco Silva about preparations for the 2012 NATO Summit that the U.S. will host in Chicago. The two Presidents will also discuss the revitalized U.S.-Portugal Bilateral Commission, enhancement of bilateral economic and commercial relations, cooperation in education, science and technology, the promotion of democracy, good governance and human rights around the world, and U.S. support for Portugal’s implementation of its IMF-EU reform program.


Street artist Alexandre Farto Aka Vhils



Today I bring you Alexandre Farto's artwork. Maybe you have heard a lot about street artist Banksy. Now it's time you meet Vhils. He's Portuguese. Curious? Right! Check Vhils site and you'll be amazed by what he has already created. Read what Lazarides Gallery wrote about him:

Our youngest artist, the already prolific Portuguese-born Alexandre Farto's range spans from collage to portraiture. Of late he's taken to creating works purely from in situ materials, taking Vandalism as art to its logical ad absurdum conclusion. Advertising hoardings are torn to make fresh images, and plaster drilled away at until the remaining relief forms the work. He is, at the time of writing, experimenting with a cocktail of Quink ink and household bleach. But this is a long way from brutalism. Vhils art is poetic, complex, and ambitious, often focusing on the needs we have abandoned in favor of our wants, and the realization that trading pleasure back in for happiness will be a less than straightforward exchange.

Watch River Mondego's journey



Mondego river enters the sea right at my door. From Serra da Estrela to Figueira da Foz - the city where I live - Mondego makes an amazing journey. Daniel Pinheiro is the name of the enthusiastic wildlife filmmaker who shot this film. It's the final Project of Daniel Pinheiro Masters´s Degree in Wildlife Documentary Production from the University of Salford and it won a distinction. It was filmed in Portugal during May/June 2011. Here's what the author wrote about the it: A river acclaimed by poets and songwriters, closely entwined in the History of Portugal. As its waters merge with the sea, a small stream, hidden in the high mountains of Serra da Estrela, continues to ensure the Mondego breathes life into its great variety of habitats and wildlife.
