Investigação

– Viola Amarantina Portugal (2023)

Through the Municipality of Amarante, Stay to Talk Institute developed, over the course of 1 year, a scientific and cultural study on the Viola de Arame Amarantina.

The viola Amarantina, also known as viola chuleira or viola with two hearts, is part of the family of Portuguese wire violas with five pairs of strings. It is distinguished by its romantic aura visible on its mouth in the shape of two hearts, by its shallow scale and inlaid with some half frets on the top, by its tuning and by the decorative elements present on its top.

It is a Portuguese chordophone associated with the Amarante region and can be heard throughout Minho and Douro Litoral. It is a protagonist or accompaniment chordophone in popular contexts, agricultural work, entertainment and leisure, among them, toccatas, challenging songs and respective festivals, on ranches, in pilgrimages, in raids, and, in particular, in serenades and in the chulas where it was heard alongside the chuleira fiddle.

The viola amarantina is feeling, identity and living heritage. As you run your hands over this guitar you will feel the pulse of Portugal, remembering the traditions and people of the Amarante region.

– Commander José de Abreu Assets (2021)

During the months of February and March 2021, in the middle of the pandemic season COVID-19, the Stay to Talk Institute was privileged to be invited to enter the world of the Hon. Commander José Joaquim Gonçalves de Abreu.
The smell of mold, the dust that was felt between the fingers, the cobwebs that were meeting showed a world that had stopped in time, a world stagnant in the paper and in the photos. Each time a file was opened, a notebook, an envelope, a letter were moments of suspense and of reliving yet another family, political or even business scene in which the protagonist was the unavoidable personality of Amarante and Portugal.
