Description
The June festivities are, in essence, multicultural, although the format with which we now know them originated in the feasts of the popular saints in Portugal: the Feast of St. Anthony, the Feast of St. John and the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul mainly. The music and instruments used cavaquinho, accordion, triangle or pickets, reco-reco etc. are the basis of popular Portuguese folk music and were brought to Brazil by the settlers and immigrants from the brother country.
