Ranchos Folclóricos Sonhos e Juventude de Portugal The Portuguese musical/dance group Ranchos Folclóricos Sonhos e Juventude de Portugal was founded in 1985 by Manuel Carlos, along with his brother David Fernandes and close friend Domingos Cunha, all of whom emigrated from Portugal. The group was later joined by Tony DaSilva, a first generation Portuguese-American and Mineola native who currently is an instructor and dancer. The repertoire of these traditional dances has its origin in the cultural roots of the Minho region of northern Portugal. The beautiful and richly embroidered costumes, as well as the dancers’ castanholas (castanets) are also native to this region.

In its 28th year, the Ranchos now consists of five concertina (diatonic accordion) players, along with seven singers and a multitude of dancers.

Ranchos Folclórico Sonhos de Portugal (“Dreamers of Portugal”) and Ranchos Folclórico Juventude de Portugal (“Youth of Portugal”) practice once a week at the Mineola Portuguese Center.

Winner of a New York Bistro Award for outstanding cabaret vocalist, Frans Bloem was born in Holland and has traveled to more than 50 countries, entertaining audiences with great success. Cabaret Scenes says of Bloem, "With a passion that binds the audience to him, with spare movement and expressions, and with minimum narrative, Frans lets the songs communicate for themselves.” Introduction by Erwin Mass, director of performing arts for the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
