This is a certified hood classic

Philip II: We are Philip, King of Spain and Portugal! João III: Im about to end this mans whole career

This is the sound that 20+ gold trade routes make in the ancient era.

"What music do I listen to? Mostly DLC soundtracks for 2016 games"

*Me who doesn't even play the game*: Okay, let's listen to what kind of music they choose for my country. *Listens to the Fado* *Starts crying*

Now I forgive that time you made Lisbon into a city-state

Brazilian themes: **joyful and lively** Portugal: Yeah, we don't do that here

You know whichever civ comes out, Geoff's gonna make its theme a banger

Philip II has been real quiet since this dropped..

If I had a nickle for every time you guys released an amazing theme, I'd be Portugal in terms of GPT.

Portugal's theme screams wealth, sophistication, and culture even in the ancient era.

Portugal (Fado Menor) 0:00 - Ancient Era (Guitarra Portuguesa) 1:28 - Medieval Era 5:53 - Industrial Era 10:41 - Atomic Era About this Piece: Fado (meaning "Fate" or "Destiny") is a musical genre originating from Lisbon, Portugal around the 1820s. Though much is unknown about its origins, Fado is traditionally known for its sad lyrics and melancholic melodies. Songs in the style of Fado are about topics ranging from life on the sea to the poor, and people's resignation to their own fates. This sentiment is most often described by the Portuguese word "saudade" (also seen in Brazil's Civ 5 theme "Chega de Saudade"), and this musical genre and its topics have spread to most of what was once the Portuguese Empire. Brazilian modinha, Cape Verde's morna and Indonesian kroncong all carry some influence from either tunes or lyrics from Fado, though most have now developed their own traditions. (Source: Wikipedia) Fado Menor ("Minor Fado"): Minha mãe Eu canto a noite Porque o dia me castiga E é no silêncio das coisas Que eu encontro voz amiga Minha mãe Eu grito a noite Como um barco se afasta E naufraga no mar alto Ao pé da onda mais gasta Minha mãe Eu choro a noite Neste amor em que me afundo Porque as palavras da vida Já não têm outro mundo Minha mãe O que fizeste O que fez o teu amor Aquela hora tardia Em que me pariste em dor Por isto Sou este canto Minha mãe tão magoado Que visto a noite em meu corpo Sem destino mas com fado

I just... listened to a musical masterpiece. I had my eyes water a little, for goodness sake. Please, bring back Geoff Knorr for Civ 7!

Somewhere in Firaxis, the music development lead is sitting in his chair reclining, knowing his crew drops banger after banger. They simply do not miss. Hit after hit after hit.

Few people now that but Portugal has a huge impact on our modern western music and literature (and of course naval tradition). Cheers from Brazil, viva o fado!

Firaxis: “ok, we added Portugal into the game. Now please just leave us alone!” Everyone: “...Venice when?” Firaxis: “nooooooo!”

I'm Portuguese and I'm very happy that Firaxis really captured the essence of Fado, our traditional and unique music style in such a beautiful way. Amazing Portuguese Guitar play! Really happy to listen to this OST, I can't wait to play the game. Congratulations! PS: the Industrial Era music is something incredible, Fado without the Portuguese Guitar and a orchestra behind it? Never seen it before, but it's just SO GOOD

I'm Portuguese and this is absolutely fantastic! Can't wait to play it.

Civ 6 can now rest. A fitting theme for the final pack of the New Frontier Pass

If someone interested in knowing what is the building in the background - it's Belém Tower

Ancient & Classical Era: 0:00 Medieval & Renaissance Era: 1:28 Industrial & Modern Era: 5:53 Atomic & Information Era: 10:41

Abraços à terra mãe, Portugal, paz e prosperidade para nossas lindas nações!

As soon as Portugal was announced, I wondered if their ambient soundtrack would include fado music--making it the motif for their main theme, though, is a very welcome surprise! That Industrial Era version is especially wonderful; you can really hear the sense of saudade in both it and the Atomic Era version. Good to know the sound team has been in top form all the way to the end.

Damn, the king of Portugal has the drip

I'm Portuguese and this is absolutely beautiful!!!! thank you so much, Firaxis!!

After proceeding on a Portuguese musical deep dive, I now really like Fado music, it fills me with saudade.

I knew before the DLC was launched, that Portugal's OST was about to be marvelous, and it truly is...

Maybe the greatest theme of Civ 6, lol I am listening it while watching a documentary about Magellan

wow. what a great work you've done here. I'm portuguese and you guys made me miss my country... and I'm actually here, in Portugal! well done :)

I came in expecting it to be good, but I wasn't expecting anyone's Ancient theme to be this fire. My goodness, to be the lucky guitar that gets strummed like that.

Beautiful guitarra, and then the Industrial era version is simply sumptuous. Marvellous work by the musical team, as ever!

Finally Portugal music. Really love it 😘. I'm from Indonesia and Portugal colonize us long before Dutch came. Tho only short time but Portugal leave significant influences to Indonesian culture like noticeable numbers of Portuguese loanwords, the cuisine, and hybrid Indonesian-Portugal music called Kerontjong. Love Portugal from Indonesia 🇲🇨♥️🇵🇹

est sound track in the game no cap

Civ, thank you for actually using our BEAUTIFUL guitarra portuguesa

The beats in atomic era sounds like train. I was on the train and leaving all past happiness, or maybe it’s the past on the train that is leaving me behind? I guess that’s what “saudade” means.

Fun fact: In portugal there's a song called "Era uma vez um rei com uma grande barriguinha" or "once upon a time there was a king with a big belly" people say that it's about a real king, some say that was João III others say that it was Afonso II but probably it's not about the two at all but it's funny to think about it

It's so sad and heavy-sounding, especially during the industrial era, but has a hint of wealth and class in it

Been playing with Portugal the last couple of days and the music is awesome. Thank you Civ 6 family

My new favorite ancient theme

When i saw civ v's portugal theme i thought "no way they can one up this one.." They one upped that one.

Now that this might be the final soundtrack I'm really going to miss the absolutely fantastic soundtracks that accompany what is already a wonderful game These soundtracks incorporate a wonderful sense of history and culture that is rarely seen in game Truly some masterpieces have come from this game Beautiful Portuguese soundtrack

Its remarkable that you can generally identify the location and history being referenced from just hearing the musical motifs and instruments. I certainly hope that Firaxis can match this quality of music in the future. Civilization 6's soundtrack will stick with me for a long time.

I love how you get these breathtaking themes with game for free. These music scores alone are worth 100s of dollars.

I may be a little biased, but you guys totally nailed Brazil and Portugal themes... They are the best!

This brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful!

Industrial era part is pure joy to listen to. Such a beautiful composition.

Nothing like a fado to represent this country that makes me feel much saudade

I don’t know why but this one made me cry during the middle of my game,

Glad to see the respect paid to Fado and the Portuguese Civ. I'm very happy with how well the Civ was set up and they really captured the soul of Fado. Really makes me miss my days at Nazare and Lisboa

Ó mar salgado, quanto do teu sal São lágrimas de Portugal! Por te cruzarmos, quantas mães choraram, Quantos filhos em vão rezaram! Quantas noivas ficaram por casar Para que fosses nosso, ó mar! Valeu a pena? Tudo vale a pena Se a alma não é pequena. Quem quer passar além do Bojador Tem que passar além da dor. Deus ao mar o perigo e o abismo deu, Mas nele é que espelhou o céu.

O salty sea, so much of whose salt Is Portugal’s tears! All the mothers Who had to weep for us to cross you! All the sons who prayed in vain! All the brides-to-be who never Married for you to be ours, O sea! Was it worth doing? Everything’s worth doing If the soul of the doer isn’t small. Whoever would go beyond the Cape Must go beyond sorrow. God placed danger and the abyss in the sea, But he also made it heaven’s mirror.

I was against Portugal initially in favour of other civ ideas but I gotta be honest, this music slaps The industrial theme makes me feel like a 19th century villain plotting a murder in his chambers

Finally had RNG to set me as Portugal, and my ears have certainly been blessed with that Ancient Era theme. Muito bom!

Viva Portugal! Viva a Pátria Mãe! Viva a nossa herança! 🇧🇷🇵🇹

This is truly stunning piece, do caralho pqp

I always fall in love with every soundtrack Civ team creates. Period.

I'm portuguese and listening to this music the first time, made me so happy!! This is TRUE portuguese music. Thank you to developers

last ost of the civ6? my hopes are that it is not! anyway, I look forward to make a cool cover out of it!

As a Portuguese descendant: thank you for this masterpiece. ❤️

Absolutely brilliant. Brings me back to my childhood going to festas with my parents.

Beautiful Fado

I’m begging you to release the Portugal ambient music

Industrial theme is something I’d hear on an old gramophone, making it sound very classic. Very well done indeed

There it is. my favourite soundtrack in Civ6!

Awesome.

This is, once again, a masterpiece for which we are thankful. Great job Mr Knorr!

Geoff did an amazing job on all soundtracks. As Portuguese i could not feel more immersed and truly feeling im playing with my own country. It has everything, a more sad fado menor to a more cheerful fado corrido. A true masterpiece.

Wow! That first song - you guys and gals do such amazing work - thank you for a wonderful soundtrack!! :D

Wow the soundtrack is incredible!

I am a Brazilian and absolutely love this piece. I connect with Fado, as we also have some similar music, albeit on our own style. I wish we were more united. The United Kingdom of Brazil and Portugal would be a dream. We were great before, we were an world wide emprie. That is prideful. What I love more about this version is that it reminds me of a heartbeat. Maybe one day our hearts will beat as one again, if not formally but in respect and mutual assistance.

Such a fucking banger civ 6 has some of the best music and themes

I predict thats going to be great Upd. I've just lisnted the industrial theme and it's unbelievebly cool! This music as cool as Gran Colombia music!!! Thx you Civ6 developers, I guess that's one is my the most favourite music in the game!

Very powerfull nation in Civ. I love to play Portugal.

Brilliant, as always

Holy fuck they made Fado sound great, i love it

This is probably one of my favorite songs of the soundtrack yet, amazing work to everyone involved!

The ancient era is beautiful the guitarra portuguesa always make me cry. I recomend for those who like to listen Carlos Paredes - Verdes Anos

Wow, so beautiful! A new favorite for sure - I'll play this Civ just to enjoy the music for the whole game. Thank you!

this song changed my life

Portugal is definitely one of my favorite countries of all time (subjectively) ... most respect and best regards from Berlin. 🇵🇹🇪🇺🇩🇪

I Think Portugal is the only Civ that has a good soundtrack in all three edition of Civilization IV-VI

Portugal (as an idea) is actually one of my biggest dreams to ever experience, the culture, language, literature and the country itself too of course. I don't understand why, but there isn't any other more calming thoughts in my life than actually Portugal, this music helps me order those thoughts a lot:]

Another excellent piece! The music is truly the best part of Civ 6.

Obrigado por honrarem Portugal !!!

As a portuguese man, i aprove this, thank you, you nailed it

Thank u for this firaxis and Portugal. I never knew that this masterpiece exists. Thank u!

I can feel the sea wind

That feeling when you are making 60+ gold just off of a single trade route.

*The industrial theme is....perfect...*

The soundtrack for the Ancient and Medieval Eras radiate Portugueseness. Like, wayyyy more than the ones for the other eras. Seriously they fucking NAILED IT.

beautiful! great work

Son demasiado buenas, cada era genera una emoción completamente distinta. Es una pasada como la misma canción puede transmitir tantos sentimientos diferentes solo con el uso de instrumentos distintos

Petition to make geoff knorr a Great Musician in civ 7, cried btw

The dislikes are from people who still can’t win in Settler difficulty

This may actually be my favorite industrial theme wow

This was really a GREAT work.

Wow the ancient and atomic are amazing. This just became my favorite music

Yo this shit bangs. Im gonna get portugal just because of this now.

Portugal’s ost is my personal favorite throughout civ6. Emotional, tender, and soothing music. Especially the second track, what an intro, shivers down my spine.

Honestly my favorite soundtrack, next to Russia's. Civ 6 has always had great soundtracks.
