"Maneo náufrago" by Xabier Díaz and Adufeiras de Salitre. They sing in Galician, a language that's very close to Portuguese. I can almost understand it :)

People in the Groningen area of the Netherlands are raising the provincial flags. Why? The country has finally decided to stop extracting natural gas from the ground.

"Sharaf" by Sahra Halgan.

"Basauti" by Korrontzi from Basque Country. The song is an hommage to the women who work on the land. I like the dances also.
