Authored songs

‘Authored songs’ is a category that features quite a few songs in Portuguese, especially written for children and young people.

In these songs, poets with heightened sensitivity, different aesthetic views and from many different backgrounds have explored and indeed brilliantly approached a whole range of thematic topics that are typical of childhood wonder; basically, the authors’ aim here is to enhance children’s imagination, whilst fostering further creative means to promote and vividly mobilize (so to speak) Portuguese culture, language and poetry. And we do tend to believe they have succeeded with flying colours!
