Eurico Carrapatoso

Folksongs from Timor

Loik

Lilo eh!

Award-winning Portuguese composer and professor of music Eurico Carrapatoso (b.1962) began composing in 1987, and among his numerous international performances since was the U.S. premiere of his Magnificat in 2007, sung by the UNF Chorale. His Folksongs from Timor are based on songs from the former Portuguese colony in the Malay Archipelago which became the independent Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste (a.k.a. East Timor) in 2002.
