Louvado during Christmas 2005

Our ancestors in Damão gathered with neighbours, family and friends infront of the crib to sing to baby Jesus, what we call the Louvado.
It's a celebration of Christmas the Damão way, with food and Christmas sweets. Trying to recollect and preserve some of the songs, most of our Damanenses can recall singing in the past, but may have long forgotten (excuse the video clip as the songs are not reahearsed).
Here is the 2005 Christmas edition of our Louvado on the 28th of December with the Damanenses and friends of Damão in Macau.
