The Portuguese & Lusophone - World Lecture Series, Ft. Kenneth David Jackson

Wednesday, October 30, 2024 at 6:00pm to 8:00pm

The lecture will focus on the descendants of Portuguese on the East Coast of Sri Lanka, called "Portuguese Burghers" in Sri Lanka, who have lived in mixed communities near forts at Batticaloa and Trincomalee since the early 1600s. We will hear field recordings of performances of music and folk verse in creole Portuguese with illustrations of the community.
