The opening whistle comes from a flute tune for baby Jesus played in the north of Madeira, in Ponta Delgada. The poem sung with the drum is by Herberto Helder. The poem sung by Mariana Camacho is the Bordadeiras song, made famous by the old Madeiran singer Max. Its first verse was changed. The song played with the rajão (string instrument) is the Campanário Mourisca. Since the beginning of the 80's, the cultural association Xarabanda has been making the field recordings that were the reference for this performance. Mariana and Rodrigo's parents are part of the founders of this association. The set has a tryptich that is painted with oil on an old closet. It show the island center's cloudy mountains, and in the side panels we see two fishermen with scabbard fish just being brought from under 1000 meters deep. The drum has an images painted with the resin from the same tree that it represents: "dragon blood" resin from the Madeiran "dracaena draco". On top of the closet is a German wood sculpture from the 1930's. The feet of the old lady are surrounded with "laurobasidium lauri", a fungus that has therapeutic properties and grows only on the local Laurel variety.
