The Foundation decided to incorporate a music website in the presentation where you can watch the spaces of our seats of Zamora and Bragança, and choose a tune by this author, Amanhecer. We communicate with and very kindly allowed us and have always put their availability. So I invite you enter on our website ( www.frah.es ) listen to it or you come over here to one of his CD.
Julio Pereira was also the director of Ethno-Musical Map Camões Portuguese Institute, a project that shows the distribution in Portugal of music and musical instruments characteristic of each region of Portugal, with explanatory texts and pieces that you can listen.
