"Grândola, Vila Morena" (English: Grândola, Swarthy Town) is a Portuguese song by singer-songwriter José Afonso, recorded in 1971. It was originally released in Afonso's 1971 album Cantigas do Maio and later released in an EP of the same name in 1973, and as a single in 1977. "Grândola, Vila Morena" became an iconic song in Portugal after being used as a radio-broadcast signal by the Portuguese Armed Forces Movement during their military coup operation on the morning of 25 April 1974, which led to the Carnation Revolution and the transition to democracy in Portugal. It has since been considered a symbol of the revolution and anti-fascism. We celebrate this year the 50th Anniversay of our Revolution and.... we had a bit of a sing song with friends .... DO NOT LAUGH..OK???? :rofl: :giggle: As a result of the "celebrations" Mr Malcolm Lugton aka @arte-de-junqueiro drank and ate too much .... so he is a bit on the sick side..... :giggle: :faint: Take care dear friends....

My Bio

My name is Mal - but close / long term friends on dA also call me Mel.. you get to choose!!

I was born in London, UK and spent a lot of my professional career travelling much of the world. I now live in Portugal, where I have permanent residence which I obtained well before Brexit was even thought about...

My favourite medium is photography, although I do write from time to time. I have no problem with people wanting to use my work as a part or a basis for their own creation, but I like to be asked BEFORE you use my work - and then given a link to your completed piece so I can see what you have created. But, never post my work as your own - that's theft!!
