Portuguese in Münster: research, shared stories and music
Münster’s links with Brazil extend from university partnerships to the ways people read, meet and make music. The University of Münster’s Brazil Centre marked its fifteenth anniversary on 23 June 2025. Its account traces the centre’s foundation in Münster in 2010 and its São Paulo liaison office in 2012, and names university partners in Brazil, including USP, UFMG, UFSC and UPE. This gives a learner concrete places and institutions to investigate when reading about academic exchange between the two countries.
Portuguese has also been a language of shared family and school culture in the city. For Münster’s eighth International Mother Language Day event, scheduled for 23 February 2022, the Musikhochschule announced readings by pupils from four Münster schools with heritage-language teaching. Their chosen Portuguese texts were paired with music from Brazil and Portugal, accompanied by Brazilian cellist Renan Moreira. The programme aimed to encourage reading and understanding between Brazilian and European Portuguese. That emphasis offers a useful approach to study: notice differences between varieties while taking an interest in the stories people choose to share.
There is a more conversational connection through UPLA. Its 2026 Lateinamerika-Wochen programme lists a Portuguese-language Stammtisch at La Costanera in Münster on 3 November 2026, without advance registration. This is a dated example of Portuguese within a wider Latin American cultural programme; consult the organiser’s updates for later meetings rather than assuming the same arrangements continue.
Music provides two quite different routes into these cultures. The Canarinhos’ own history traces the Münster samba group’s beginnings to the 1980s, when Martin Drewer and fellow musicians created a school inspired by Rio de Janeiro’s escolas de samba. Across a different musical tradition, the Friedenskapelle’s archive records Fado ao Centro’s concert on 31 March 2025, presenting fado from Coimbra in Portugal. These local histories invite a comparison of Brazilian samba and Coimbra fado on their own terms, with attention to their different settings and musical forms.
Movement and music come together in capoeira. Biriba Brasil describes its art as Afro-Brazilian and includes Münster among its branches. Its Münster training page publishes sessions for children, teenagers and adults, including beginners and advanced participants, and explicitly includes time for music. Readers interested in taking part can check the current arrangements with the group; the musical element is also a reason to explore capoeira beyond its movements.
Film offers another way to listen. Filmclub Münster’s 20 October 2025 programme for Cao Guimarães’ Amizade listed the Brazilian film at the Schloßtheater in Portuguese with English subtitles. It describes a portrait of friendship and ageing assembled from domestic recordings in different formats. As optional self-study, use those themes to write a short Portuguese description of an old friendship, then practise telling the same story aloud. The local screening is a documented past event, while the subject remains useful for personal conversation.
