All Damanenses sang, as the celebrations commemorating the 400 years of the Church of Our Lady of Remedios curtain dropped

As the curtain of the year long celebrations commemorating the 400 years of the Church of Our Lady of Remedios dropped, Bishop Godfrey de Rosario gave his blessings to the people of Damão at the end of a mass on 30th of December 2007, at the open air altar of Christ the King.

After the high mass, culminating the celebrations, at the foot of Christ the King, all Damanenses sang,
Jangli mãe...... Oh Mãe quem homme aquel é..... Bicho de palmeira......., Raminha raminha........, Parque te churá velh..... ,
Ó Divan de Mogará,
Rio sandalcalo and Barra de Damão, with the guitarist Bosco Machado who played on the spur of the moment.

And even the young ones from Damaõ showed how their blood is still filled with and linked to the portuguese folklore.
