Lusophony

Lusophony is an overarching, umbrella concept used to describe in political, economic and cultural terms the presumption of a common ground shared by all native citizens of Portuguese-speaking countries. It goes without saying that this is rather a problematic concept from an academic and political point of view, but irrespective of all that, this category encompasses a wide range of songs with which students can experiment and experience diverse expressive practices, as well as both urban and non-urban performance genres from a number of nations that make up the so-called “Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries”.
