EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases a lively and authentic moment in Portuguese rural culture: the Saloios Dance. Saloios, derived from the term for non-urban or countryfolk, originated in the rural areas surrounding Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal. In this image, we see a group of men and women dressed in traditional attire, engaging in the joyful dance that bears their name. The accordion player in the foreground sets the rhythm for the dance, his music resonating through the countryside air. The dancers move in a synchronized and energetic manner, their expressions filled with delight and connection. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich heritage and vibrant traditions of Portugal's rural past. The Saloios Dance is a testament to the enduring spirit of the countryfolk, who continue to celebrate their unique cultural identity through music and dance.
