#Qesher #Jewish #Portugal #Music #Crypto-JewsI can really recommend this event for everyone interested in Music and Portugal! "After the expulsion of Jews from Portugal, some stayed as Crypto-Jews. The early 20th century saw the "discovery" of the Jews of Belmonte and the northeast region of Tras-os-Montes, who had lived in isolation with few cultural contacts with the outside world. I will introduce the people I interviewed, and explain how songs and recited prayers work in both the religious and secular contexts. Then we will move to the internet and social media age and their folklorization, always, with an emphasis on people and where and how they live." https://www.facebook.com/events/1012637593587236
