“Cantar os Reis” – Twelfth Night Songs

This is one of the oldest and most popular traditions in Madeira celebrated a little all over the island, a ritual that brings together families, friends and neighbours who come out to the streets to “sing the epiphany” or “Janeiras” from door to door.

The Association of the Casas do Povo of the Autonomous Region of Madeira organizes and produces the traditional twelfth night songs show, a concert to be held in the Auditorium of the Municipal Garden, in Funchal, at 8pm, an event which is integrated in Christmas and New Year’s festivities program.
