Even in times of crisis, the extraordinary linguistic variety (signaled) in Portugal does not oppose the prevalence of the Portuguese language and a near complete understanding between speakers of different regions, nor does it appear as an element of a conflict from which it may suffer the consequences. In fact, the present context shows that its situation may even benefit from a pattern of cultural return to the “origins” or to what could be called as historic and ethnologic roots. The possibility and motivations of such a return are here at the heart of an analysis specifically focused on the evolution of popular Portuguese music in the 20th century.
