Quinta do Bill- Voa

Let me present to you the good old-fashioned portuguese rock from the 90's!
This band is called Quinta do Bill because it was the place where they used to rehearse. They have a unique sonority mixing electric guitars with violins and banjos. Voa is one of their greatest hits. I hope you like it.
The quality isn't the better...Sorry about that.

…Todas as cidades têm vida própria e imprimem sensações nos corações dos viajantes. Docemente, as cidades portuguesas permitem aos visitantes mergulhar em todos os aspectos das suas vastíssimas vidas: a música, a arte, o desporto, a religião e a cultura… Gentilmente, as cidades cumprimentam os convidados de um modo “oficial”…Passeando pelas cidades, elas são verdadeiras pontes entre o passado e o futuro. As sombras dos muros históricos, protegem o presente dos raios abrasadores e dos ventos da mudança. Os ritmos da vida colorida das cidades portuguesas, acompanham os visitantes pelas ruas estreitas e acolhedoras, oferecendo-lhes sensações imensas: esperança, paz, o acreditar em milagres, o carinho, a naturalidade, a felicidade das crianças, a bravura dos actos…

… Kiekvienas miestas turi savo gyvenimą viduje ir palieka jausmų antspaudus keliautojų širdyse. Portugalijos miestai maloniai leidžia lankytojams pasinerti į šių miestų gyvenimo aspektų įvairovę: muziką, meną, sportą, religiją ir kultūrą… Jie svetingai pasitinka žmones savo „oficialiu“ gyvenimu…Keliaujant miestuose, jie tampa tiltais tarp praeities ir ateities. Didingos istorijos šešėliai ir sienos saugo dabartį nuo kaitrių spindulių ir permainingų vėjų. Portugalijos miestų spalvoto gyvenimo ritmai lydi lankytojus siauromis, tačiau labai jaukiomis gatvelėmis, suteikdami jiems daugybę jausmų: viltį, taiką, meilę, tikėjimą stebuklais, švelnumą, natūralumą, vaikišką džiaugsmą, drąsą veikti …
