The cultural forms
to be promoted
This territory and this population
retain various forms of oral culture
shared, totally or partially, byGalicians
and Portuguese in which the processes
of transformation of nature into culture
show evident particularities. Among
these we may mention... (Read

 |
|
| Due to the Portuguese
colonization, there are examples of
the galician-portuguese traditional
culture in LUSOPHONE COUNTRIES
such as: |
|
Brazil,
Angola,
Mozambique,
Cap Vert, |
Guiné-Bissau,
Saint Tomé & Príncipe,
East Timor
|
and
in the cities of
Goa (India) and
Macau
(China) |

Due to reciprocal
influences, we can find common elements
between the galician-portuguese heritage
and other EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES such as:
Italy,
because the culture brought by the Romans
is still alive in many daily elements
(the oxen cart, the plough, working
tools, etc)
Germany,
due to the existence of the suebish
kingdom in the V Century.
The institution of the communal forest
is also common, as well as many names
of places that have a germanic origin.
France,
due to the contacts of the Saint-Jacques
Pilgrim Way, that put the provenzal
lyric in relationship with the galician-portugese
medieval poetry, as well as the common
celtic origins with the French Bretagne.
Scandinavian
Countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway),
with viking influences at the structure
of traditional boats such as the "dorna",
or the cellebration of the Viking Pilgrimage
in Catoira with a reproduction of a
scandinavian "Drakkar".
Ireland,
from the foundational myth of Breogan
to the recyprocal influences at the
musical folklore.
England,
due to the wine commerce, in older times
with the whole region and lately centered
at the Douro River.
Netherlands
(Belgium, Holland): Embroidery
crafts with wooden pins that are very
similar to the "Encaixes de Camariñas"
in Galice or the "Rendas de Bilros"
in Portugal.
There are some cultural links even with
Russia, such as the picture of an "afiador"(knife
sharpener) at the Hermitage Museum in
Leningrad, or the collective memories
of the "Children from the Civil
War". |
|
| There are also
many galician or portuguese immigrants
in all those countries, and this produces
interesting cultural contacts. |
|
| Due to the presence
of immigrants, mainly from Galice, there
are many examples of galician-portuguese
traditional culture in all the HISPANIC
COUNTRIES, specially in
Cuba,
Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico and Venezuela. |
