The Cante House and Museum in the Serpa region of the Alentejo is a charming place that celebrates the rich heritage of Cante Alentejano.
This type of singing, characterized by harmonious male voices, is much more than a melody. It was born in the fields and taverns of Alentejo, where the emotions and experiences of the Alentejo people are transmitted.
Much more than an exhibition space, the Cante House and Museum is a place to preserve, promote and celebrate Cante Alentejano.
For those who visit, they enter a welcoming environment, with interactive exhibitions, historical moments and a detailed view of the role that Cante plays in Alentejo culture. From the traditional costumes of the groups to historical recordings, each exhibition represents an important milestone in this art.
Visitors also have the opportunity to take part in interactive workshops where they can experience Cante Alentejano, learning the rhythms, harmonies and traditional gestures associated with this musical form.
The Cante House and Museum is much more than a museum. It is home to the musical roots of the Alentejo. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the melodies and enter the depths of Alentejo tradition.
