Vira de Santa Marta



This is folk dancing from Portugal. Santa Marta is in the north. There are various versions of the Vira de Santa Marta. I know two different ones on diatonic accordion, and one of them appears on Cachorros Piquantes. The vira is played like a fast waltz with a heavy emphasis on the first note of the bar.
