Miguel Pregueiro went from playing around in the Wooden Mic stages of Idols to releasing a dancefloor-ready pop tune called "Vámonos".
If Miguel keeps showing this much passion for his music, he will go very far.

Miguel was gracious enough to do a live performance of a popular Portuguese folk song on the Scenic Drive. 

The Portuguese are known for their jovial outlook on life, their beautiful music, their passion for family and especially their amazing food. 
All these elements of Portuguese culture will be on display during the Caravela Portuguese Festival weekend, between 29 June and 1 July 2018. 1 July marks Madeira Day in the Portuguese community. 

The crew from the Caravela Portuguese Festival was gracious enough to bring some delicious seafood platters for the Scenic Drive team to taste.

Rian invited some of the musicians who will be celebrating Portuguese heritage at the festival to the Scenic Drive. 

He sampled a fried green bean with a special hot sauce. This was his impression of the dish.
