Review by Steve Allen

Portugal Raízes Musicais' latest album, 1 Minho e Douro Litoral, is a captivating tribute to the musical traditions of two regions in the north of Portugal. The album features a range of traditional songs, beautifully arranged and performed by the group's talented musicians.

The album opens with "Vira da Ponte", a lively dance tune that sets the tone for what's to come. Throughout the album, the group showcases a variety of instruments, including accordion, guitar, and percussion, creating a rich and diverse sound.

One of the standout tracks is "Mourisca", a hauntingly beautiful song that showcases the group's vocal harmonies. Another highlight is "Cantiga de Amigo", a traditional love song that is both melancholic and uplifting.
