Três anos depois do Fado, o Cante Alentejano, canto polifónicocolectivo, sem recurso a instrumentos e que incorpora música e poesia, foi hoje classificado pela UNESCO como Património Cultural Imaterial da

Humanidade.

O Alentejo é a região sul de Portugal delimitada pelo rio Tejo e a região do Algarve.

Pergunta:

Poderão a música, o canto, o fado, o cante,..., servir de instrumentos de coesão social?

"Património é tudo o que somos", logo, desejamos que sim. Para bem da humanidade.

Three years after Fado, the Cante Alentejano, collective polyphonic song, without using instruments and incorporating music and poetry, was today classified by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Alentejo is the south region of Portugal confined by the Tagus river and Algarve.

Question:

Can music, song, fado, cante,..., serve as instruments of social cohesion?

"Heritage is all we are", thus, we wish so. For the good of humanity.
