Portugal decides – canção chosen

National Finals, Uncategorized

Portugal’s Festival Da Canção selected Filipa Sousa singing “Vida Minha” on March 10th 2012.

This year, RTP devoted the festival to fado, marking the accession of traditional Portuguese music to Unesco’s Oral and Intangible World Heritage list.

It was a real late, late show with the program not starting until 21.15 local time.
