"Pongáio" was the name my Aunt Mona gave to a long, green, cool room where we gathered at her home —
replete with comfy chairs, a rocker, sewing machine, sewing goods, beautiful beads, shelves, books, bibelots, photographs, odds'n'ends, mementos of a life, treasures —
a gathering of all the useful & 'useless' things that so make life a pleasure.

The Heart of Minas

Below are links to two videos, both with the music of singer-composer Paula Fernandes, Seio de Minas (Heart of Minas). Paula is a young artist from the nearby town of Sete Lagoas, who now becoming better known.

The first video is a promo for the state where I live by the local tv affiliate.... beautiful.
The second is the same song with other photos, from around Sete Lagoas, I believe.



Seio de Minas
Paula Fernandes

Eu nasci no celeiro da arte
No berço mineiro
Sou do campo da serra
Onde impera o minério de ferro

Eu carrego comigo no sangue
Um dom verdadeiro
De cantar melodias de Minas
No Brasil inteiro

Sou das Minas de ouro
Das montanhas Gerais
Eu sou filha dos montes
Das estradas reais

Meu caminho primeiro
Vi brotar dessa fonte
Sou do seio de Minas
Nesse estado um diamante
Neste estado amante...
