The “Museu de Fotogradia da Madeira - Atelier Vicente's” celebrates today the 126th birthday of the popular poet, João Gomes de Sousa (n.1895-f.1974), better known as “Feiticeiro da Calheta”. Described by many as a popular sage, for his sayings and songs, he became an unavoidable figure in the municipality of Calheta and the region, being the author of the lyrics and music that later gave rise to the famous “Bailinho da Madeira”, one of the 7 Wonders of Popular Culture in Portugal.
Illustrating this publication, the museum shares a photograph of João Gomes de Sousa and his wife, Augusta Gomes Pequeneza, which is featured in our temporary exhibition “António Aragão Memories of a Photographed Heritage”. This exhibition can be visited, free of charge, until December 31, 2021.
