	Euromosaic - Mirandese in Portugal
		As a result of its economic development during the 14th century, Miranda became the main cultural, social and religious centre of Trás-os-Montes from the mid-15th century.
		Outside the town of Miranda do Douro itself, it seems that the vast majority of parents continue to pass on Mirandese to their children.
		As far as the social use of the language is concerned, the fact that Mirandese speakers are perceived as somewhat backward by comparison with Portuguese speakers does constitute an obstacle to the extension of the language.

		A revelation for those who know Miranda only from her campy fruit-bowl-on-the-head Hollywood cameos, this disc highlights Miranda's early years in Brazil, where in the 1930s, she was a major samba star.
		Even when she was shucking and jiving for the studio moguls, Miranda still had her Brazilian band backing her up, and this is all pretty enjoyable material.
		This features Miranda and her band in a variety of live settings, including 1944-45 radio shows on "Command Performance," "Jubilee" and "Mail Call," as well as a half-dozen songs taped at a nightclub performance in 1950.

		Brazilian-born director Helena Solberg provides the narration herself, and she attempts to come to grips with both the fascination and the anger Miranda aroused in her countrymen -- and how this ambivalence affected Carmen, who stayed away from her beloved country for 14 years.
		Although Brazilians were initially proud of her success, and her role in representing the country and its culture, as Carmen's "Brazilian Bombshell" persona and fantastic costumes grew ever more outlandish, she lost her popularity at home.
		Among them are very rarely seen sequences from "Banana da Terra," the Brazilian film in which Miranda first appeared dressed in traditional northeast dress and hat (which later became her standard Hollywood costume), and "Alô Alô Carnaval," in which Carmen wore a gold lamé tuxedo and sang a duet with her sister Aurora.
