Historic Cafés As Cultural Heritage Historic Cafés as Cultural Heritage Coimbra 20th and 21st April, 2018 Host: Café Santa Cruz Co-hosts: Associação dos Cafés com História de Portugal (ACH) European Historic Cafés Association (EHICA) Coordination: Vítor Marques Communication: Place and date: Coimbra, 20th and 21st April, 2018 20th Cultural Week of the University of Coimbra 2018 –European Year of Cultural Heritage 2 Historic Cafés as Cultural Heritage International Meeting of Historic Cafés Historic Cafés as Cultural Heritage International Meeting of European Historic Cafés Objectives Given that Café Santa Cruz has hosted a quite varied set of cultural initiatives of the most diverse nature, it is our intention to promote an international meeting of Historic Cafés where, in addition to talking about their history and stories, we will also discuss means of collaboration and exchange to seek an effective response to the challenges posed to this important sector. Thus, in order to find conditions for joint collaboration there are some topics that we would like to address in a working meeting where a large and significant group of Historic Cafés from Portugal and Europe are present. The indicative/provisional work plan, which emerges from a common vision shared by ACH and EHICA, is as follows (or topics under discussion): a) One of the challenges for the coming years in this sector is to keep up with market trends without losing its identity (which is the strength of its essence) and which results from its history and its tradition; b) Implementation of an international exchange programme for those responsible for the various Historic Cafés to enable the exchange of experiences; c) Creation of a passport for those who visit Historic Cafés in Portugal and in Europe. This model can be inspired by the credentials of Pilgrims of Santiago; d) Creation of a European Historic Cafés network; e) The creation of a network of historic cafés should allow and enable historic cafés to be part of tourist circuits, deserving the same prominence as other historic and heritage sites to visit and enjoy; 3 Historic Cafés as Cultural Heritage International Meeting of Historic Cafés f) To propose the creation of the European Historic Cafés Day (which may eventually have another similar designation); g) To plan a more active participation in the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe - Advisory Forum; h) To discuss the possibility of a Historic Cafés meeting in Brussels (Belgium) – to plan an event for the promotion and dissemination of Historic Cafés in the European Parliament; i) To plan a meeting in the European Institute of Cultural Routes, in Luxemburg. In addition to the working meetings and interchanges, the representatives of the cafés invited will also enjoy an extensive programme with complementary activities to the programme described below, which are related to Portuguese culture, such as tasting local gastronomy, visiting the most emblematic spaces of our city or listening to Coimbra Fado. The invitation to participate in the working meeting and the debate will be extended to all Portuguese and European Historic Cafés. Café Santa Cruz We hope that this initiative, like others similar to it, will make a strong contribution to the customer loyalty, distinction and prestige of both Café Santa Cruz and the city of Coimbra. In the same year that the 20th edition of the Cultural Week of the University of Coimbra is commemorated, Café Santa Cruz celebrates its 95th anniversary. The building where it is based, the former S. João de Santa Cruz Church, has been a National Monument since 11th October 1921. We also believe that with this initiative (following others which Café Santa Cruz has promoted over the years, including those in partnership with the University of Coimbra and 4 Historic Cafés as Cultural Heritage International Meeting of Historic Cafés as part of its Cultural Week), we are taking the first steps towards having Café Santa Cruz also distinguished as Cultural Heritage of Portugal. Conclusion Not forgetting the commercial side, which fuels these initiatives, the purpose of this event is to strengthen the concept of Cafés (Café Santa Cruz in particular, but also “the café” in general) as a space for disseminating culture, sharing experiences and looking forward to the future. A living space... Hence, if history is made every day, why not make it around a table, under the texture of stone, of “the heart of stone” and with the aroma of coffee. In this sense, telling the long history of Cafés, highlighting their contribution to society, to the forming, nourishing and supporting of human beings is an opportunity of great honour for us. It joins and unites people valuing this diversity of experiences, backgrounds and events which so distinguish us and, therefore, brings us together and unites us. As the poet says: “How I’d love to hear a human voice”! Une-as a beleza incontestável. Une-as o olhar sedento de quem as visita. Une-as a vivência de quem as sente e habita, nem que seja por alguns minutos apenas. E fazê-lo num cenário de ímpar beleza. An undeniable beauty unites them. The thirsty look of those who visit them unites them. The experience of those who feel them and live in them, even for just a few minutes, unites them. And to do so in a setting of unrivalled beauty.

Still unknown for many surfers around the globe, Figueira da Foz is a welcoming surf destination, with its famous mile-long hand break and one of Europe’s widest beaches with easy waves, soft white water and a hip bar, Kahlua Kaffe. 2- SEE COIMBRA and visit the UNIVERSITY of COIMBRA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Coimbra/ The University of Coimbra was founded in 1290… in Lisbon. It was then moved to Coimbra to be definitively established there in 1537! It remains today one of the oldest academic institutions, and still functioning, in the whole world). Over 20,000 students are still attending the University, including a large community of international students. Visit the central library, the botanical gardens, the astronomical observatory, the São Miguel Chapel), and the musea (Science Museum, Sacred Art Museum and Academic Museum). 3- FEEL COIMBRA FADO http://www.visitcentrodeportugal.com.pt/fado-ao-centro/ The Fado de Coimbra is a highly stylized genre of fado music. Coimbrão Fado is sung exclusively by men and demands a strict dress code. Music groups and singers wear the academic dress which is composed of trousers, cassock and a black cape. This makes it a very solemn event, sung at night, in the city squares and streets, the most important stage of the Coimbra song. If you are visiting the city, don’t miss one of the traditional serenades which are sung under the windows of someone’s beau, or attend one of the wonderful performances of groups who sing popular songs which talk of the city, student life or borrow the words of the greatest names in Portuguese poetry in front of the Old Cathedral.

  • The Portuguese Guitar: History and Transformation of an Instrument Associated with Fado
    THE PORTUGUESE GUITAR: HISTORY AND TRANSFORMATION OF AN INSTRUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH FADO NUNO JOSÉ DOS SANTOS ANAIA CRISTO A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JANUARY 2014 © Nuno José dos Santos Anaia Cristo 2014 ABSTRACT Since the mid-nineteenth century the Portuguese guitar has been connected to the fado genre. Over the years, both the instrument and the song genre have experienced significant transformations, at times related to aesthetic changes, at other times conditioned by social, political and economic alterations. This thesis focuses on the historic organological development of the Portuguese guitar, as an instrument associated with fado, and explores how the Lisbon guitar model has been progressively replaced by the Coimbra guitar model (both in practice and iconic symbolism). I argue that this tendency is related to the current new era of Portuguese guitar practice with its origins in the post-revolutionary period lived in Portugal after the political overthrow in 1974. My study is based on the review and analysis of the most recent works on the subject, fieldwork among players and makers, iconographic and archival research, and my own experience as a player and maker of both models of the Portuguese guitar. ii DEDICATION To my parents iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many thanks to: York University for the 2012 GS-CUPE Unit 1 Graduate Financial Assistance - Dom Award.

The guilty party is D. Dinis, Coimbra with the correct sounds, which is the voice, the guitar and the King of Portugal, who one day in March 1290 decided to sign the Scientiae guitarra portuguesa – the usual sounds in this type of fado – but also the thesaurus mirabilis, a decree which founded the University of Coimbra. It is piano, double bass and trumpet – which due to the fact that they are new not known whether it was due to his love of knowledge or whether it was and vital, are also presented here. Some may say that ‘according to tradition’ inspired by his being a troubadour, a master of words both of love and satire. these sounds do not belong here. D. Dinis does not agree.

  • Fado, Music of the World and World Heritage
    Fado, music of the world and world heritage ABOUT Fado, music of the world and world heritage A shawl, a Portuguese guitar, a voice and heartfelt emotion. This simple image could describe Fado, a recognised symbol of Portugal, and a music of the world that is genuinely Portuguese. At its heart is sentiment, lost love, longing for a departed one, everyday life and triumphs. After all, the vicissitudes of life provide endlessly inspirational topics. They say fado is fado, that it is ingrained in the Portuguese soul, with no distinctions to be made. Even so, some dare tell a professional from an amateur singer. Professionals earn a living from their voice. Amateurs sing the Fado also known as vadio (vagabond), and this has different qualities, although longing is still present as a main leitmotif. Making a comeback in Lisbon’s working-class districts, fado vadio singers are never invited… they invite themselves and do not have a set repertoire. In Coimbra, fado has particular characteristics and is sung by students. In 2011, UNESCO granted Fado World Heritage status, as an urban Lisbon song symbolic of the city and the country. To learn all the details, the best is to pay a visit to the Fado Museum in Alfama, one of Lisbon’s historic districts. Housing a vast collection, gathered from hundreds of bequests, you can get acquainted with the history of Fado from the first quarter of the 19th century to modern times. The house where Amália lived, today converted into a museum, is also in Lisbon, close to Madragoa.

I identify here two subgenres of indie and electronic music scenes and analyze how the handful of musicians that comprise these burgeoning movements are fighting to keep their respective national cultural traditions alive in the face of iTunes, mp3s, and P2P filesharing that have universalized a certain form of pop music which cuts across languages and cultures.

    Beyond Sight and Sound: Fado of Coimbra, Intangible Heritage with Touristic Value Para além da Vista e do Som: Fado de Coimbra, Património Imaterial com Valor Turístico JOANA COSTA1, PAULO NUNO NOSSA2 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18226/21789061.v9i4p557 ABSTRACT On June 22nd, 2013, the University of Coimbra – Alta and Sofia was classified as a World Heritage Site. The World Heritage Committee added a sixth criterion to the Unesco list, distinguishing a particular cultural asset “directly or tangibly associated with a set of events, living traditions, ideas or beliefs, with aesthetic or literary works of outstanding universal significance”: Fado of Coimbra. Over time, this tradition has proven to be an aesthetic expression of lyricism and musicality and, together with a culture devoted to the dissemination of knowledge and the Portuguese language, it has made an inestimable contribution to the distinction awarded to the University of Coimbra. This paper analyses the Fado of Coimbra and addresses its cultural value, its relationship to the heritage of the city and its economic potential in the global tourism market. Through bibliographical research, documental research and direct observation, this paper reflects on the origin of this musical genre, and its specific characteristics as well as its debated relationship to Lisbon Fado, as it investigates the social history and the evolution of Fado of Coimbra.
