Today, March 29, the third session of Lendas Sonoras de Lafões took place at the E.B.I. de Santa Cruz da Trapa (Agrupamento de Escolas de Santa Cruz da Trapa), a project dedicated to rescuing, giving sound to, and expressing elements of the oral tradition of the Lafões municipalities.
Students of Prof. Paulo Fernandes, guided by Luis Gomes da Costa, researched and recorded sounds to illustrate six legends of the São Pedro do Sul municipality: “A lenda do diabo” (“The Legend of the Devil”), “A cova da serpente” (“The Serpent’s Den”), “A estrada assombrada” (“The Haunted Road”), “A cabra e o lobo” (“The Goat and the Wolf”), “O morto que matou o vivo” (“The Dead Man Who Killed the Living”) and “A Senhora das colmeias” (“The Lady of the Beehives”).
The next workshop session will be joined by Liliana Silva, who will help the children illustrate these legends.
Many thanks to Prof. Paulo Fernandes and the Agrupamento de Escolas Santa Cruz da Trapa for the opportunity.
