biography
Os Máscaras e Gaiteiros de Ousilhão are a traditional group from the village of Ousilhão, in the municipality of Vinhais, district of Bragança, in the north-eastern region of Trás-os-Montes. The group combines bagpipe music with the ritual masks of Ousilhão, figures linked to the festive and identity-based traditions of the region, which have been the subject of study as artistic, ritual and identity artefacts.
