Cante Alentejano is a traditional form of singing from the Alentejo region in Portugal. This unique style is characterized by its deep, harmonious vocals and often features a group of singers who perform together. The songs typically express themes of rural life, love, and the beauty of the Alentejo landscape, creating a strong connection to the region's culture and history.
The singing is usually accompanied by simple instruments, such as the guitarra and cavaquinho, but the focus remains on the powerful vocal harmonies. Recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, Cante Alentejano continues to be an important part of Portuguese identity and community celebrations.
