Kings & Beggars - Como poden per sas culpas (Cantiga 166)

You could buy our music here kingsandbeggars.bandcamp.com/...
First song of our upcoming album based on "Cantigas De Santa Maria". It’s monophonic paraliturgical songs written in Galician-Portuguese (also known as Old Portuguese or Medieval Galician) in mensural notation. Cantigas were performed during church celebrations. Virgin Mary and all of her virtues and miracles are praised in those songs. Their stories are about life of Alfonso X El Sabio and his family, and local legends and tales. Big and small miracles are praised in cantigas such as: story how Virgin Mary defeated basilisk an dragon in Toledo, how she saved drunken monks sinking in the river near Salamanca, how she cured dying horse, punished thiefs, helped monks to get water against will of greedy knight and many more… The song what we present to you called "Como poden per sas culpas", tells the story of a man who suffered an illness that twisted his limbs and left him crippled because of his sins. He stayed that way for five years. He vowed that if he were cured he would take a quantity of wax to Salas every year. He was immediately cured. Without delay, he went to Salas with the wax. Although he had not walked for a long time, he was nimble and felt no pain.They thanked and praised Mary for the miracle.

Life of medieval Spain let me tell you I never thought that my Spanish ancestors would be this epic. Sure their was brutality and wars, but that’s not what makes Spanish culture important it’s the music and amazing stories of these heroic people!!!

I've heard this song by a few different artists. Is it a prevalent cultural song by any chance?

[@slayerbulia]

Yes, it's quite famous medieval song

Разве не должно быть больше шипящих звуков?

One question: to what species does it respond, to what musical genre would it belong? Thank you.

Is the Galician language Portuguese?

[@jojibot9193]

@@flame.5642 Not quite. However, both languages share a common origin dating back to medieval times. "Galician-Portuguese", "Old Portuguese" and "Medieval Galician" all refer to the same language from which the modern Portuguese and Galician languages evolved.

[@themechanictangerine4337]

No. Old Galician, Galician-Portuguese is a modern invention, the Language originated in Galicia and taken to the Moorish occupied area of Portugal when it was freed by the King of Asturias, calling it Portuguese is not correct, it's like calling English American or Australian😅

@@themechanictangerine4337 Ok, so let's end the controverse right now. The language sang is Medieval Brazilian, and that's final.
