You'll join Piedade's neighbourhood choir in Curtorim as they pick up the tempo right where a Mando leaves off, clapping and swaying through the brisk, playful verses of a Dulpod. It's the part of the evening where everyone in the room usually ends up singing.
Dulpod is traditionally sung directly after a Mando, releasing the tension of its slow melancholy into a fast, communal, often humorous song — the two forms are rarely taught apart.
Where Mando dwells on love and loss, Dulpod turns to everyday village life, gossip and humour, sung with clapping and simple percussion rather than formal accompaniment.

Lyric sheets on the tablePhotographs from this experience will replace these panels once available.
Is this the same as the Mando workshop?
It pairs well with it but stands alone — you'll learn Dulpod's own faster rhythm and lyrics.
Do I need to sing well?
Enthusiasm matters more than pitch — this is a communal, informal form.
“So much fun after the slower Mando class — everyone was clapping and laughing.”
