Cante Alentejano is a Portuguese music genre based on vocal music without instrumentation from the Alentejo region. It was inscribed in 2014 in UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity,[1] one of two Portuguese music traditions, the other being Fado.[2] Its origins come from a similar popular music genre created in the region of Mindebycampinos. It is said that the habit of singing without instruments was common in bull-herding as a means to coordinate efforts among the campinos.
