The Alentejo cante is a traditional musical genre from the Alentejo, Portugal. The cante is more typical of the Lower Alentejo than of the Upper Alentejo. Its repetitive characteristics, as well as its slow tempo and abundance of pauses, contribute to its monotonous nature. UNESCO has considered the Alentejo cante to be Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It is a choral song, in which a solo point and a choir alternate, with an alto filling the pauses and finishing the stanzas. The song invariably begins with a point giving the cue, giving way to the alto and then the choir, in which the point and the alto also participate, intervene. Once the stanzas are finished, the point can start again with a new cue, followed by the same set of stanzas. This cycle is repeated as many times as the participants wish. This repetitive characteristic, as well as the slow tempo and abundance of pauses, contribute to the monotonous nature of the chant.
