D.A.M.A. uses their music to protect Portuguese culture

In this episode of Heart & Hustle of Portugal: On Location, the trio that make the band D.A.M.A. sit down with Tony Gonçalves on rehearsal day to talk about what it means to bring the heartbeat of Portugal to the diaspora, and why this community feels like something you can't quite explain but immediately recognise.

They talk about five years of diving deep into the musical traditions of Portugal from north to south, choosing two songs that carry the longing of Alentejo and the joy of Minho onto a stage in Providence, and why it is so important to believe in yourself when no one else does.
