Bailinho da Madeira
It is around the typical Madeira instrument,
"o Brinquinho", that a group of people
dressed with the typical costume dance.
This musical instrument is composed by a set
of wooden puppets (dressed with the
traditional costume), castanets, disposed in
a distaff cane and moved by the holder with
vertical movements.
Most people know this "Brinquinho".
However, there is another one more popular
and rustic, called "Brinco" that the peasants
play at the typical country festivities,
where it is sung and danced choreographies
with great creativity.
Everyone that wants can dance without needing
special costume or choreography rules or
restrictions.
The "Brinquinho" is a regional instrument
used at the "Bailinho".
This "Bailinho" appeared 50 years ago when
the first folkloric groups began to do their
presentations.
It is with these dances and songs that
Madeira Island is represented all over the
world.
