"To have more women in concertinas, there need to be fewer men who think they're the greatest"

Margarida Pereira, a 15-year-old from Vieira do Minho, participated for the first time in the concertina parade at the Feiras Novas in Ponte de Lima, being one of the few women among hundreds of players. In an interview, she said the field remains dominated by men and left a provocation: to have more women in the instrument, there need to be fewer men who think they're the greatest. The young woman started playing about three years ago, inspired by her uncle, and now practices about an hour and a half a day, saying that playing concertina is the only thing she really likes to do. Margarida said that seeing so many young people her age playing is a sign that traditions are valued and won't be lost easily.
