Last week, the Miss Universe pageant was held near my home, right here in São Paulo!
And for those who didn’t see the pageant, she made it a point to speak Portuguese in her speech to show pride in being Angolan, a lusophone country (which, not surprisingly, many people do not know!).
I happen to absolutely love the Angolan accent, and think Leila Lopes’ is no exception.
Here is a video of her speech on what she plans on doing as Miss Universo
And another of her “journey” (right after she speaks in Portuguese, there is an interpreter who speaks English!)
Que legal! Her sotaque reminds me of listening to Cariocas. It’s very pretty, indeed.
David:
It is international Portuguese but lacks the harsh sound of Portugal. Has a beautiful flow like Brazilian Portuguese but doesn’t have the kees, djees and tchees
