PORTUGUESE PEOPLE IN BDA

FOOD

The Portuguese food influenced Bermuda in their day to day life.

You will get grocery stores that sell Portuguese items like
sausages, other cold cuts, cookies, wine and even Portuguese
beers like Sagres.

However, I haven't seen any Portuguese restaurant in the island

though.

Caf Acoreano is a Portuguese

restaurant that sells bake goods, drinks,
and traditional meals.

MUSIC
Eddie Demello took the main initiative of bringing Bermudas music to a
new high.
He was born in 1937 in Azores (Portugal) and came to Bermuda when he
was 11 years old.
Demello introduced signers from many countries and of different styles like
classical, fado, jazz and calypso, and helped enrich Bermudas music over
the years.
He was famous for bringing to Bermuda some of the famous musical talents
like Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Amalia Rodrigues.
His Edmar records became an all time hit in Bermuda

The language is a blend of British, North American, and various

West Indian versions of the English language. Azorean Portuguese
is still spoken and preserved in some Portuguese homes. In the
Bermudian accent, sometimes Vs and Ws are transposed; a
usage that derives from the Elizabethan English of the
seventeenth century settlers.

There is also a small Portuguese-speaking population.

Some people speaks Portuguese's due to their ancestry.
