Test

Bailinho da Madeira are the 7 wonders of popular culture, as determined by the Portuguese vote, during the final gala, held tonight in Bragança.

The Madeiran award was announced by the fado singer Cuca Roseta, who before revealing it, but having already known the contents of the envelope, did not hide her satisfaction, acknowledging that she “wanted it to win”, alluding to the candidacy promoted by Claheta, one of 504 of the total of this contest.

Bailinho da Madeira ‘was born’ in 1938, by the hand of João Gomes de Sousa, the ‘Feiticeiro da Calheta’, with its own lyrics and music, debuting at the first harvest festival, with the Rancho Folklórico del Arco da Calheta. Then, ten years later, Max and his band took the ‘bailinho’, giving it new arrangements and transporting it to another sphere of dimension, without international limits.
