"One of the most traditional and authentic events in Minas Gerais
Vesperata has its origins in the traditional musical practices of Diamantina in the 19th century.
When in the period of vespers, musicians performed on the balconies of the mansions to play for people walking in the streets.
And what are vespers?
Vespers is part of the Liturgy of the Hours, which is celebrated in the afternoon, between 3 pm and 6 pm.
Cultural Heritage of Minas Gerais
Recognized as an important event of tourism and culture in Brazil, Vesperata was awarded in 2010 by the Ministry of Tourism with the Roteiros do Brasil Trophy, for promoting Cultural Sustainability in the Municipality.
With a repertoire full of good music and different styles, Vesperata is recognized as Cultural Heritage of Minas Gerais.
In Diamantina, you will have the opportunity to watch one of the most beautiful musical shows of the local culture:
The Vesperata that seems, at first glance, to be a serenade in reverse.
Considered a “serenade in reverse” due to the fact that the musicians position themselves at the windows and play for the public on Rua da Quitanda, which is crowded with tables around the conducting maestros.
Each presentation brings together more than a thousand people.
The famous Vesperata de Diamantina, in addition to being a spectacle for the eyes and ears, is a source of pride for citizens of Diamantina.
It is a unique event because nothing compares to the feeling of watching the presentation tasting a good wine, or, if you prefer, the famous cachaça from the North of Minas Gerais." - https://www.pousadadogarimpo.com.br/noticias-do-blog/temporadas-vesperata-diamantina/
