Christmas in Portugal
Various Artists
A heartfelt celebration of Christmas, this album brings together talented vocalists whose repertoire surrounds their audience with the spirit of Portuguese Christmas, or “Natal Em Portugal.” Vocalists include Manuel Fernandes, Saudade Dos Santos, Maria Da Conceição, Gina Maria, Domingos Marques, Paulo Jorge, Lucilia Gomes, Lina Maria, Antónia Tonicha, and Victor Moreira. An especially beautiful song on this album is “Sinos de Natal,” or “Christmas Bells,” punctuated rhythmically with ringing bells and filled with lilting and clear melodies and harmonies.
