Diabo na Cruz

Here is a Portuguese folk band.  The devil mask that they wear is the classical mask they would use to scare people on Halloween.  Also, the girls in the video are performing a traditional Portuguese dance.  It is called the vira.   It is danced to a 3-step rhythm similar to the waltz and as you can see it is faster the dance is performed face to face.  This is a fun band because they combine humor with tradition.  This song is called Dona Ligeirinha.
