The Portuguese Deparment of our school invited the Degree in Foreign Languages: English and Spanish to participate in the celebration of the 25 years from the death of Zeca Afonso, an iconic Portuguese musician and singer who became famous for his interventionist songs.
Although our participation might be somewhat restricted due to the core of the degree, i.e. no formal musical education and no connection to the literatures and cultures studied, we agreed upon the translation of several songs into English and Spanish. These songs will be chosen according to the events they will be integrated into: one of the projects is the production of a pedagogical CD in which songs will be dealt with, bearing in mind the interests and needs of children from several levels; another could be the translation of some other songs part of the main event in February, 23rd, or others to be done throughout the semester.
I shall expect volunteers for this translation among the 3 years of the degree.
