My friend just introduced me to a band; Pega Monstro
Maybe this is “dream pop??” I don’t know music that well.

Thanks for sharing, @nicolebgarci . I vaguely remember hearing about this band before, but I don’t know how to describe their sound either

O video de Mariza parece como uma declaração de amor para Lisboa. Arte grande!

Hi All,
If you like learning through music, I highly recommend https://lyricstraining.com/pt (there’s both a website and an app). There are many languages available there, Portuguese as well of course 
You listen to songs and type (desktop version) or tap correct words (mobile version). I love it. In the free version you can play up to 3 different songs within 30 minutes, then you have to wait.

Espera by Fernando Daniel. I think he articulates his words nicely and the song has a good tempo.

Great suggestion. He does articulate very clearly (and slowly). And well, it’s a nice song, I’d say. Another one for our playlist!

I like Calema - A Nossa Vez

Ahh, @DianeS, this is a very interesting suggestion, because they (Calema) don’t have a standard European Portuguese accent. They’re from São Tomé and Príncipe and the African accent is noticeable. It’s a good opportunity to get in touch with other common accents heard in Portugal and abroad

Ha! My level of Portuguese means I didn’t spot this. Thanks for pointing it out. I do like the song though and it does get into your head. I find listening to music a very good way to pick up some new vocabulary and phrases.

Jesus, hah! I couldn’t find the lyrics posted anywhere online, but I can tell you that he’s telling the story of a farmer (a supposed brother of his) who regularly milked his cows and goats, until one day, the barn went dark after a loud thunder hit and he had to feel his way to the goat’s teats. He started milking it, but the goat was complaining and no milk was coming out, until his wife walked in, turned the lights on, and told him to let go of the animal, because he was actually milking the buck

Fado Meu irmão agricultor
Meu irmão agricultor,
A estudar para doutor,
Quis fazer a munginção.
Primeiro foi às vaquinhas
Logo a seguir as cabrinhas
Pra tirar o leite á mão
E logo naquele dia
Já a hora ia tardia
Todo o céu escureceu
Ouviu-se ao longe um trovão
E naquele barracão
Ficou escuro como bréu.
E ele às apalpadelas
Foi mexer nas tetas delas
Já estava a suar.
Mas a grande cabra preta
Não deixou mexer na teta
E pôs-se logo a berrar.
Fazendo força a espremer
Não vendo o leite a correr
Ficou fulo o meu irmão.
Escusas de estar a berrar
Dois litros tu tens de dar
É o mesmo que as outras dão
Entra a mulher no palheiro
E acende o candeeiro
Oh homem mas que pagode
Isso até parece mal
Deixa lá o animal
Tu estás a mugir o bode

Thank you too for the lyrics. Gotta brush up on my Googling skills! Btw, turns out he didn’t milk them regularly - it was just that one time and it went south (literally), hah.
