Casa da Bôxa Music
“The interaction with the Bairrada villagers was extraordinary: nourished by all their care and food it’s no wonder that the music also became drenched with the Bairrada flavour. The music sounds like this little village, its food, its smells, its trees, its sadness, its hopes and dreams.”
