It has been with hard work, integrity and dedication that PFSA has served the community for over one hundred years, and it is an example of what being Portuguese Proud and honored to serve is all about.

PAMA was founded on the same principles, to serve our community as a voice and much more for the needs of Luso Americans, and their descendants,to spread our culture, our language and our "orgulho"Those who are proud of their heritage, but may have felt disconnected, perhaps because they no longer speak the language, or there may not be a medium to connect them.

We work hard every day to serve as their bridge.

We have more than a team, we have a family that is dedicated to helping our community grow.

It is an honor and a privilege to have this partnership with PFSA.

Welcome to PAMA Magazine!

Our magazine follows the same principles that our company and our radio stations have been created on: To inform and educate Portuguese Americans who speak English and may or may not speak Portuguese, yet want to know about our culture and our communities.

This is a one-of-a-kind project in English and will focus on not just Portuguese communities, but communities in general, with issues that affect us all.

We want this to be a new form of information and education while keeping our culture in the middle of all of it. Our contributors and staff are from all backgrounds and will enrich the content of this monthly online publication.

As always, PAMA keeps an open door policy for community advocates, leaders, and organizations to help spread the word about all issues, events, information, etc. and this magazine will be yet another means to do so.

I am formally inviting you to join our list of subscribers and if you want to be a contributor, that door is very open as well.

In the name of all our team, WELCOME, and we hope you join us from today on…

Sincerely,

NATIONAL PARK

Back in 2013 when I moved my family to the beautiful Golden State, I knew I was in for amazing scenery and experiences.

On the top of my list was Yosemite.

I had read plenty about the 3rd National Park in the U.S. I knew about its amazing size of nearly 1200 square miles, the giant Sequoia trees, the tallest waterfalls in North America, etc.

Nothing had prepared me however for the actual beauty of it. Sure, there are so many photographs of the park all over the internet, but to be there, to see its greatness, beauty, and peacefulness is unlike anything I have ever experienced in my life.

Sure, I have been coming to this park for about 11 years now, and I always imagined how great it would be to drive the park in a convertible. Well, a few weeks ago, that dream became reality.

Behind the wheel of my older but still nice G37 convertible, I decided to take the two-and-a-half-hour drive to Yosemite in the evening hours to try to catch some of the Northern Lights that were reaching further South than normal. The night before, some amazing pictures were captured in San Francisco and other areas around here, so I figured, why not? Maybe I will get lucky. I am no pro photographer by any means, and I figured, a tripod and my iPhone 15 Pro may do it for me.

On my drive with the top down, I felt the cool air breeze, the smell of pine, and the clean air in the Sierras. Trying to take photos on the road with my phone on a holder was not easy, so forgive me for that. I got to the park just before sunset, and started to take as many photos as I could.

Glacier Point Road was still closed, so I settled for the Valley and even got a picture of a moon set, as the moon disappeared behind El Capitan.

Shortly after, it was pitch black, and I could witness a clear sky with amazing views of stars, planets, and even airplanes. The only sounds were of toads and the amazing waterfalls in the distance. I thought to myself - why are there people in this state that have never visited this beautiful place?

I know friends in our community that have never visited and have lived here all or most of their lives. I can’t believe they are missing the spectacle that is this beautiful park, this place where nature displays all of its glory, and makes me feel like we humans are nothing compared to a place like this. The peacefulness is just breathtaking. I can tell you that I have never felt a stronger connection between my soul and nature than I did when I went to YNP. As I stood there in the dark, taking pictures, some better than others, I wish I could share what my feelings were at the moment with all of you. I just knew I had to write this article.

If you have never visited, make it a priority to do so, I can assure you that you won’t regret it.

Meet the

Umbrella SkyProject One of the most instagrammable places on the face of the earth!

The "Umbrella Sky Project" was born in Águeda, in the year of 2012, and is composed by several colorful art installations spread all around the city, with the sky of umbrellas that seem to float in the air being the strong element of this project. This project has been on display through several countries and stands out for the involvement it can create with the public, causing a dynamic interaction with social networks. An open-air museum that produces beautiful and viral images, attracting the attention of bloggers, photographers, and the press. Contributing to the increase of tourism and consequently the increase of local economy. One of the most recent distinctions was given by Architectural Digest magazine that placed the umbrella streets among the most beautiful in the world.

The motto is Coloring Life, bringing color to gray spaces and making people smile!

We use color to make a positive impact in the world!

DAIANES BOOK REVIEW FUNNY STORY BY: EMILY HENRY

MY QUICK THOUGHTS: If you ever take anything from my reviews, let it be this: READ BOOKS BY EMILY HENRY !! Rom-com queen with wholesome characters and lots of charm. I have read all of her books and, in my opinion, they just keep on getting better.

I liked the MC's individually and loved them even more together. Found family, female friendships, heartbreak, and love. There is some light spice which is always a plus ;) If you are looking for a good, light read, this is it. Or any of EH books.

BONUS! Portugal is mentioned in the book a few times along with pastéis de nata! I always love these little surprises! *published in portuguese

SUMMARY

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their - small-town romance story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown - good humor to begin their life together. He really was good at telling - Daphnes' fiance dumps her for his BFF it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually - Miles's GF dumps him for her BFF in love with his childhood best friend Petra.

- roommates to bffs to lovers Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in -found family beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family TW: trauma from absent father, trauma but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely from emotionally abusive parents, mental pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the health, breakups only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak.

Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in If said plan also involves posting deliberately the sounds of heart break love ballads—Miles is exactly misleading photos of their summer adventures the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose together, well, who could blame them? coworkers know so little about her they have a running But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The no way Daphne would actually start her new roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship fiancée’s ex…right? and a plan.

Portugal Round Trip By: Devin Meireles

“Why did you leave?”

That’s a question posed by many secondgeneration descendants of immigrants, including myself. Recognizing our parental homeland is not always a common thought but sometimes a forced one. Many of us heard the tales. Immigrant children are often reminded of the struggle.

The sacrifice that our parents made for a chance at an opportunity elsewhere. It’s something that could be taken for granted if forgotten.

It’s not lost on me though, the irony of it all, that when we go back there is a feeling of sentimentality. How saudade can be inherited across generations. It only makes sense when we were raised with that constantly around us. Some of our parents never lost touch and go back often, even retiring there. Back where it all started.

For some, going full circle was always the master plan. They left their homes to build a new life with every intention of going back eventually.

Maintaining long distance relationships with their loved ones still on the island. The life of a Portuguese immigrant was a hard one and the decisions that led to those choices were even harder. We can never lose sight of that. @LUSOLOONIE

CONTINUED DEVIN MEIRELES. @LUSOLOONIE

It always was. That long distance relationship was something that our ancestors maintained, and in turn, we did too. Our broken comprehension of the language was no barrier to the infinite love that our families had for us, nor that affection that the country showed us. There was always an adoration regardless of how we communicated with each other. We are Portuguese at heart. That stands to this day while learning the mother tongue is inherently within reach. It’s been downloaded subconsciously for us. Like something that can be activated from cognitive memory. She is as benevolent as ever.

For those without family ties, it’s just as easy to fall in love with Portugal. Thousands already have. Its booming tourism industry is evidence that the world is mesmerized with the country.

One kiss from the fertile land is all it takes, and of its lush, bodacious territories, the islands are most alluring. When you find Portugal, you will understand clearly how some people could visit the same destination incessantly—it’s where you feel at home.

CONTINUED DEVIN MEIRELES. @LUSOLOONIE

Once you find that spot it’s easy to go back. Then, after touching down so many times you develop a kinship with the land that leaves an imprint on your heart like branding flesh. Forging a relationship that conciliates the soul as much as a kindred spirit.

That’s how we endorse an adopted heritage. That’s how you get smitten by an island. To find Portugal is to find love.

The Festival commemorates the Day of Portugal, of Camões and the Portuguese Communities, celebrated annually on June 10th. This year was a special year, as Luís de Camões, the Portuguese poet who the holiday is named after, was born 500 years ago, in 1524. City Hall Plaza is an iconic space in Boston, and serves as a prime location to showcase both traditional and contemporary Portuguese customs and traditions, as well as cuisine, products and other cultural manifestations.

The BPF brought together crowds of thousands of local Portuguese-Americans as well as visitors passing by City Hall Plaza.

The Festival commenced with a performance by Rancho Folclórico Recordações de Portugal (New Bedford, MA) followed by a flag-raising ceremony featuring participation by the Filarmónica de Santo António (Cambridge, MA) and Banda do Espírito Santo (Lowell, MA), who played the national anthems. Our traditional Portuguese entertainment concluded with another folklore performance by Rancho Folclórico de Peabody (Peabody, MA).

The Festival’s entertainment also featured a diverse entertainment line-up of both local and internationally-recognized Lusophone artists. Performers included local favorites ERATOXICA and Nélia, as well as Júlia Machado, winner of The Voice Portugal Kids and Portugal’s representative at Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2023. Additional performances by Luso-French and international superstar, Lucenzo, known worldwide for the hit “Danza Kuduro”; DJ and producer DJ R'AN; Saúl Ricardo from Portugal; and Romeu Bairos, hailing from São Miguel, Azores, who recently appeared in Netflix Portugal’s original series Turn of the Tide (Rabo de Peixe). Vavó Brito provided comedic entertainment, along with an appearance by The Portuguese Kids. Julianne Lima returned to the Boston Portuguese Festival stage for a second year along with Ruben Pacheco Correia, TV personality and chef-owner of the award-winning Botequim Açoriano of Rabo de Peixe, São Miguel.

The BPF featured a mix of Portuguese and American cuisine by Casa Benfica (Cambridge, MA); Avó’s Feast (Fall River, MA); Two Sisters Catering (Fall River, MA); The Neighborhood Restaurant & Bakery (Somerville, MA) and sweets by Joey Bats (New York, NY). Additional vendors include Matilda’s, Dean’s Concessions, and Italina’s Ice Cream.The Boston Portuguese Festival Youth Zone featured games for children of all ages as well as soccer activities by the New England Revolution. The BPF vendor tent spotlighted PortugueseAmerican businesses, selling a variety of apparel and wares, including: Copper Minted, Paixão by Xtina, Maeven in Me, Wellas Cork, Patricia Ferreira Ceramic & more. This year’s celebration aimed to bring together local Portuguese-American businesses and organizations, cultural associations, recreational groups, schools and community members to honor the contributions of Portuguese-Americans to the City of Boston and across the Commonwealth. This event and all of the Boston Portuguese Festival’s events are free and open to the public. All who love Portugal or would like to learn more about the country are invited and encouraged to attend.

The Boston Portuguese Festival welcomes the participation of volunteers to assist in various capacities before, during, and throughout the course of the Festival. For more information regarding opportunities, please contact hello@bostonportuguesefestival.org or visit bostonportuguesefestival.org.

KNOCKOUT

There are huge fan zones here. It's very organized. There are UEFA kiosks everywhere and lots of volunteers at the train stations. Last night after the game, it was hard to find a place to eat. Restaurants close at 9 like in the USA. We got a sandwich at a Subway. Bars were open though and hookah lounges.

Cecilia Soares

Messages from Cecilia Soares “Last night was crazy. I had no idea there would be so many Turks in Dortmund. They invaded the city and hung around until early in the morning, making lots of noise and their cars clogged the streets. It was liked they were celebrating which didn’t make sense since they lost 3-0. The Czechians were much more subdued when we played them in Leipzig. Both cities are big with populations of around 600,000. Both very diverse with non-Germans outnumbering natives.

Lots of Asians, middle easterners and Africans. During last night’s game, I thought there were lots of Portuguese when I heard the anthem, but then the Turks sand theirs and it was 10x louder. They were extremely noisy every time we had the ball. It was annoying but they quieted down after that auto-goal. One thing you probably didn’t see was that Ronaldo was rushed on the field by 5 different fans trying to take selfies. The first time was cute because it was just a kid.

The other times were not funny. I don’t get how it happened because security was so tight. Our own Vale Vargueiro João Neves got to play the last few minutes of the Czechia game, but not last night. In 2 days we move to see the team play Georgia in Gelsenkirchen. It’s been exciting. Tony is loving it.”

TALENT: Fadista Angela Brito Baldwin & Maniac Boys and girls club

Angela BRITO BALDWIN

FADISTA

Angela’s love of music began blossoming at a very young age. Her father, from São Brás de Álportel, in the region of Algarve, played the Guitarra Portuguesa and shared his passion for Fado with her.

Angela has fond memories of hearing the crisp sound of the Guitarra Portuguesa as she watched her father’s fingers dancing along its strings.

He and her mother, originally from the city of Ílhavo, in the Beira Litoral region of Portugal, were actively involved in many Portuguese organizations. They made it a priority to immerse Angela and her brother, Paulo, in all of the rich traditions that they were raised with.

Angela began singing in her school and Portuguese parish’s choir and soon discovered that singing was her life’s passion.

CONTINUED ANGELA BRITO BALDWIN

ENTREI NA VIDA A CANTAR At the young age of 12, Angela took her passion one step further and began singing professionally. She and her cousins joined together and formed the band (conjunto) Harmonía, performing at Portuguese events throughout California.

In 1992, Angela began her career as a Fadista and has not stopped. Even at just 12, Angela was already able to establish a deep, emotional connection to the Fados she performed and she naturally portrayed that emotion and connection to her audience. Audiences were mesmerized by her raw passion and vibrant stage presence. The public took notice of her talent and, backed by her cousins, Pedro Adão, Victor Adão, and Andre Pio, Angela was invited to perform all over the Western United States and has had the privilege of sharing the stage with many talented Fadistas.

Angela Brito Baldwin CONTINUED

FADO DE OLHOS FECHADOS At 14 years of age, Angela had the most wonderful opportunity to sing Ave Maria at the Basilica in Fátima, Portugal during a trip with her Portuguese school choir. It was a blessed moment that Angela holds dear to her heart.

Angela’s love of music didn’t stop there. She continued singing in Harmonía, then in Nova Geração and lastly in Raça. Over the years, she has been invited to record with various artists on their respective projects.

One of the most exciting chapters in Angela’s Fado career began when she recorded her debut album with Helder Carvalheira, João Cardadeiro, and Manuel Escobar. The album, aptly titled “Fado ~ De Olhos Fechados” was long-awaited.

This album also introduced Angela as a songwriter. It was released in 2014. The album was considered for a Grammy in the World Music and Best New Artist categories.

CONTINUED ANGELA BRITO BALDWIN

WHERE CAN YOU FIND ANGELA? Angela continues to perform all over the United States with Fadistas from all over the world.

Angela and her “Fado-Mate” David Silveira Garcia are currently the Resident Fadistas at Portuguese Restaurant UMA CASA in San Francisco, CA. Their shows, paired with a 4course meal by Chef Antelmo Faria have become so popular that tickets sell out in just a matter of hours.

Aside from Portuguese music, Angela has also been invited to perform the National Anthem for the Oakland A’s, SF Giants, SJ Sharks and SJ Earthquakes.

STYLED BY CLAUDIA My intention is to bring Portuguese designers and other artists into the industry and give them the same opportunities.

L

Luso American Claudia Avilia is a

fashion guru! As a stylist to the stars she continues to use her rich Portuguese culture to inspire her everday. Claudia grew

up

heavinly

involved

in

the

Portuguese community with the influence from her parents, with her dad from Terceira, Açores and mom from mainland, Portugal.

They

made

their

roots

in

California, and Claudia soon had her first on stage performance at 1 years old at the Luso American fraternal federation annual convention and soon becoming “baby queen” shortly after. Claudia then became an active member on the state youth board for Luso American. Carnaval wasa huge part of Claudia’s life, dedicating 15 years

to

her

beloved

“

Terceirense”

traditions. Her love for music led her to 10 years in a Filarmónica (marching band) and her love for dance led her to 5 years in a rancho florclorico. Lastly Claudia served as

@STYLEDBYCLAUDIA_

“senior” queen, not knowing where the holy spirit would take her next - she decided to take the leap into fashion !

Creating looks for unique artists with new designers from all over the world was always the dream, now I know it’s my purpose

I majored in visual communications from FIDM and began to intern in the PR world. After 10 years of visual design for major retail stores across the country, where I did window displays and launched concepts for brands including their marketing. Once I felt confident enough in my craft of styling,which was a big part of my role in the retail companies, I wanted to combine my love for fashion and culture with music and sports.

CLAUDIA AVILA “Labels who were representing independent artists began to reach out “

I

began

Hollywood

assisting and

major

different

costume

designers who do incredible work for Post Malone, Greta Van Fleet, Laura Dern, Orville Peck, Johnny Knoxville, Maluma , Weezer, Kesha, A$AP Ferg, FIFA women’s World Cup , Real Houswives of Beverly Hills, Naomi Osaka, Vince Staples. I

began to create

my own creative teams and our work started to get press and show up in magazines like GQ, ELLE, Harper’s Bizarre, and Schön. I now focus on just album art and

sports

but

I

did

International

campaigns for nikon Japan and I landed a role at the NFL network. This led to more press,

surrounding the Super Bowls and

the ESPY awards where USweekly and Women’s Wear Daily

named my looks

best of the carpet which was really major since I was so new in the styling . My first tour with Royal & the Serpent led to working with more incredible musicians, labels, and creatives. My work has reached the

Grammys,

Nikon

Japan,

billboard

women in music, nfl honors , the espys, and Times Square. My intention is to bring Portuguese designers and other artists into the industry and give them the same opportunity as anyone else to show their craft to the world

What my artists /clients are doing right now: Moye Billboard blues no 1: guitarist Audriix on tour with Lindsay stirling : Pop DJ Pennywild just did stagecoach time square Lorelei Marcel singer songwriter she’s in everything right now When musical talent gets signed to a label, I am hired to image consult them as well as the album art and its concepts. I then work with designers big and small who are interested in placement. I decide which pieces work best on on what talent and the same goes for anyone who hosts and attends the shows during awards season in Hollywood.
