Do you know our traditional games? Those Madeirans played in times past, on the street, with the neighbours? Sneaking up on them to say “balamento!”, and having to pay sweet almonds when we lost?
And have you seen the toll being thrown, that it goes around and around, until it finally hits that small stone that makes it topple over?
Well, at a time traditional games are back in fashion (and while they don’t find a way of playing hopscotch on a tablet…), Associação Xarabanda and the Funchal council have gotten together to revive these traditions, but in songs.
It is in this context that one should see the concert that will performed tomorrow (Sunday, April 02nd) at the city theatre, where five euro will allow you to relive those long lost moments of our youth.
The Orquestra de Ponteado will fill the theatre with sounds that will put a spell on those wishing to fish some moments from the box where one keeps our memories…
