Abstract

ABSTRACT Although traditional polyphonic singing has been practiced assiduously by many groups of women in Portugal, the cultural policies implemented during the New State (1933–1974) did not give it visibility on the stages of folklore representation. Segue-me à Capela emerged in 1999, a group of seven Portuguese women dedicated to traditional polyphonic singing, embodying a way of listening to and learning about music that had been silenced or subordinated. Based on the concept of feminist artivism, which perceives art as a tool for visibility and social transformation, this article explores the inclusion and resilience strategies assumed by Segue-me à Capela.
