Dulce is a Portuguese singer ;) We are not Middle East, but South Europe, next to Spain. Ahhhhh. This song is a song about the ocean. That instrument in the beginning mimics the waves. She is mimicking the waves. The sea gives and takes. Portugal is a fishermen country and many lost their lives on sea, but the ocean is also mesmerizing and her gifts are very important for the Portuguese kitchen. I love the Atlantic ocean, I was swimming their with my three girls with dolphins close to Lagos in South Portugal, the Algarve. The Atlantic ocean's coast also brings the largest monster waves that are ever surfed (world record) at the west side near Lisboa. One day the ocean is calm and peaceful to swim in and the next day it is so powerful that it is hard to get out of it.

Portugal não é só um país de pescadores! Portugal foi o grande pioneiro nas grandes navegações! Portugal é mar....e o mar é Portugal...!!! Nenhum país do mundo representa tão bem o mar, como Portugal!!!
1,000 years of African/Moorish rule will make Portugal and Spain moreeeee Muslim/Arabic-leaning :) A very long-standing influence in the language, food, arcqt, and culture
@@KristineResendes Well... Moorish influence in Portugal was of 711 AD to 1249 AD. We can't nor do we want to deny it. But a thousend years is bit excessive, isn't it?
@@helenagracio7556It is a long-standing influence whether you use your years or the ones that I was taught in school (we learned 800-1000 years of rule in Iberia total), plus the influence just doesn't disappear into thin air afterwards. So whether it's 7, 8, or 11 generations of people... it's still a whole lot of influence... not excessive, no. In Azores we still say things like algibeira -- many words they don't even use in the European Continent anymore. Anyway, my comment was trying to say if someone accidentally mixed me up, as is the case with the person in this video; I would instead explain the nuances of the Portuguese culture to that person instead of telling the person they are flat-out wrong.
She is portuguese, we had arabic influence for 700 years in Portugal, but the portuguese templars ( from Tomar- Portugal) explused them away but we still living with their influence in many things. 🙋🙋🙋
I am portuguese and that song is unique for th portuguse people. Dulce Pontes is unique. Thank you for this.We Portuguese are a people who discovered the world by sea and we have multiple cultural and musical influences. There was a time when no one dared to brave the unknown. we explored. Today, what was unknown from Africa to India and Asia, nothing is unknown to us and we are the product of it all. We are Portugal! The first country in the world to dominate the seas and know that the world was round. The sea did not end there.....
A nosssa Dulce Pontes nunca desilude e a sua atitude ao ouvir esta mulher com uma orquestra completa na garganta foi simplesmente contagiante kkkkkl Obrigada.
The Turkish people really embraced our Very Portuguese..Dulce Pontes.. By the way ..there anyone remembers her in the Eurovision song Contest with the song ..Paixāo Lusitana..it was a very powerful song , very badly scored because she sung that song in Portuguese...well done Dulce Pontes
This song is a pure masterpiece... Gives me chills everytime!!! And when you understand the lyrics it hits you different. (And Dulce Pontes is portuguese by the way :))
Dulce Pontes sang with the maestro/composer Enio Morricone. He said Dulce Pontes was the best singer he ever knew. Portugal has many mixes with arab, celtics, roman, etc. ❤️
DULCE PONTES IS PORTUGUESE 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹 ✌🏽SHE THE BEST SHE IS UNBELIVEBEL , SHE SINGS BUT SHE PLAYS SEVERAL INSTRUMENTS ALSO ...THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HER 🎼🎼🎼❤️ And we have GREAT voices here in Portugal
It's great to see you reacts to great female voice from Portugal like Dulce Pontes. This song is iconic. Also would be great a reacción to anothers great voices like Teresa Salgueiro from Madredeus. I recomend you a lot.
About the Setup: The Odeon of Herodus Atticus structure located on the southwest slope of the Acropolis of Athens, Greece. The building was completed in 161 AD and then renovated in 1950. Nowadays it is a place where only respected artists have the chance to play theater or have a concert. By the way, I love your reactions. Keep it up
Comparing Mrs Dulce Pontes and Mrs Lara Fabian is an honor to both singers.. Mrs Dulce Pontes is an amazing singer, she captures the essence of the portuguese people so well, just like Mrs Lara, Dulce Pontes is an actress on stage. As a portuguese I'm so proud of her, but I'm sad that Dulce Pontes don't have the recognition she deserves in her own country..
You just reacted to one of portuguese finest singers. Dulce Pontes is an amazing singer with a lot of world class live performances, that I'm sure you will love it. Also we have another great singer called, Mariza. Mariza has several beautiful songs and amazing live performances like: "Gente Da Minha Terra".
So much fun, watching you express what I feel, listening to her. This number is the first on my playlist of Fado music, and her voice is so sweet and strong and expressive! Another one I love is a group called Madredeus (I think) Her voice is a bit thinner, but also sweet and expressive. Great music!
She really does have a Middle eastern style, but I suppose since Iberia was taken over by Muslims for a few hundred years some regions kept the style. I almost hear a bit of Celine in her, her attitude as well.
@@90skid97 Yea. I think that fado and flamenco are, to a certain extent, a Moorish legacy. If you listen to Dulce Pontes, Diana Navarro or Amália Rodrigues without understanding their language, you're bound to mistake them for Middle Eastern singers.
Hi JustTheVoice. Loved the reaction, Dulce Pontes is... a diamond, she's just amazing. Now, about the instrument, it's called an Ocean Drum and it's filled with spherical beads to emulate the sound of the ocean waves.
Dulce Pontes it's a Portuguese soprano singer, genero world music! This fado is a version of fado by Amália Rodrigues, the music in the context of the beaches in which women mourned the death and return of their husbands from the sea seen that the waters were very turbulent and that many men were dying in fishing, the introduction of Dulce Pontes' music has to do with the context and not with cultural influence. This arrangement was made by Dulce Pontes when worked in collaboration with Maestro Composer Ennio Marriconi, friendship and admiration of Dulce Pontes until the death of the great Maestro, Marriconi made arrangements for Fados by Amália Rodrigues at Dulce's request and sang them in Marriconi's concerts in Italy and Spain,etc,... thank you
I am afraid you are being too much humble. Is not Fado a musical genre itself? Ignorance or interests/greed of some people doesn't make Fado less tha Rock, R&B, Jazz, Gospell, Blues or any other music genre. I am not even portuguese but i feel it is time to place Fado where it belongs alongside other genres. Peace and love.
@@jeronimodavidgaroupa5143 Hello, I did not intend to classify fado but to contextualize Amalia's fado version by Dulce Pontes. Fado is unique to "Amalia Rodrigues said that the Portuguese are jealous of it, they don't like big changes, she did it anyway, initially it was very difficult to accept it even with a lot of cultural sensitivity, etc...

Hello! Dulce Pontes - dulsse pontsh is how you can pronounce it - is from portugal and that "vibrato" that you can't understand is what we call "fado", is a typicall music from portugal! Glad you liked it!! This is one of the most important musics here, it talks about the sea and our conquists as a nation. Nice video! Continue your work, best of luck
That instrument is sort of a round box filled with little pebbles (can't remember the name). It is meant to simulate the sound of sea waves, because this song is about the sea (in relation to portuguese history). She is a diva, and for me this one isn't even he best performance ;) Hope you got the curiosity to know more portuguese music! Thank you!
Hey Just The Voice, one slight correction from an Athenian: the theatre is called “Odeon of Herodes Atticus” : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odeon_of_Herodes_Atticus
I'm very proud of our PORTUGUESE music. In this particularly music in the beginning starts with Arabic style very similar to our traditional music call FADO so there is some similarities. Talking about Dulce PONTES. Her name is PONTES not Pontas. So Dulce Pontes for me is one of the best voices in the world
Soneto "Língua Portuguesa" de Olavo Bilac Última flor do Lácio, inculta e bela, És, a um tempo, esplendor e sepultura: Ouro nativo, que na ganga impura A bruta mina entre os cascalhos vela... Amo-te assim, desconhecida e obscura. Tuba de alto clangor, lira singela, Que tens o trom e o silvo da procela, E o arrolo da saudade e da ternura! Amo o teu viço agreste e o teu aroma De virgens selvas e de oceano largo! Amo-te, ó rude e doloroso idioma, Em que da voz materna ouvi: "meu filho!", E em que Camões chorou, no exílio amargo, O gênio sem ventura e o amor sem brilho!
You're so cute! Check out some other great Fado singers. dulce pontes, Amália Rodrigues (the queen of Fado - but that one you need to close yr eyes while you listen), Carminho, Mariza, Gisela João, Ana Moura and many more! Where waiting for yr reacts! Loved yr enthusiasm! 🤩
The Western point in Europe farthest away from Middle East. Please check the background of a singer before comment. This music is a lot more than any singer is about the soul of a country Portugal
Cmon, dude, react to more portuguese singers. React to mariza "gente da minha terra" live. Carminho "minha vida noutra vida" live at gwmt. 🤯 I think you will like it. Cheers.
I don't know the name of the instrument but the sound of the waves that you hear it's that disc shaped, full of sand thing that produces. Hope it helps
