As Tradições Portuguesas em França

Profusely illustrated 256 page book, featuring pictures of 21 folk music groups and  2 CDs.

“That’s the way we, the Portuguese people, are. We only appreciate our country when we are away from it. When we are still at our original corner, we neglect its virtues, undervaluate its traditions, we even despise them. The book Judite da Cruz offers us is an important contribution for studying the presence of folk music groups in France. It should be complemented and developed by other authors who care to join her”. Excerpt from the book’s preface, by José Alberto Sardinha
