As I mentioned in the earlier post about the military camp enactment, there were many performances going on all over the historic district (the main tourist center) in Braga. Many of them were dance performances. We especially liked this one: a beautifully choreographed dance in several sequences by four "Roman" maidens.
The dancing was accompanied by haunting music performed by three musicians who sang and played special instruments. The group's name is
Dorahoag, and
here is a
YouTube site where you can hear the three men of the group play a very similar sounding piece of music. They create their own music in fusion with other music. Really wonderful.
Here you see two of the men from
Dorahoag with a woman who is playing an instrument that — sadly — I can't name:
And then the marvelous dancers! You can see such grace in all their movements:

There were other dance performances by belly dancers, which I will share in a later post.
How about you? Do you like dance performances? Do you like music that fuses more than one genre? What is your favorite music?
