    Angry Classify Melech Mechaya (Are Portuguese Jews "Portuguese"?)

    I want to know what you think. Are the Jews in Portugal today semites or are they Iberians who converted to Judaism or does it vary from person to person?

    Compare the band Melech Mechaya (from Portugal) and the group Galandum Galundaina (ethnic Portuguese for sure) in separate videos...

    Prejudice can cloud judgment. Maybe watching the videos with muted sound will help with that a little bit. It might have been better if I had not mentioned anything about Jews or used videos and just asked if the two separate groups look to be the same ethnicity, but anyway...

    Melech Mechaya




    Galandum Galundaina




    (OT: In case you like the second song there's a live version HERE )

    So, please classify Melech Mechaya and also Galandum Galundaina (using whatever terms you like) and how do they compare.

    One of the guys in Melech Mechaya does kinda look like that Seth Rogan douchebag. One of the members, the guy with the violin on the bus in the beginning, looks like he could be Portuguese to me (and I say this only because there's a slight resemblance to a cousin of mine) The other guys I guess look Jewish but I'm not sure why I think so. I think the guy with glasses and blue jacket who plays the cello looks like a lot of American Jews.

    Galandum Galundaina all look Portuguese to me and fit quite well (BTW there's a woman in the crowd who almost looks like Liza Minnelli see if you can spot her )

    If you didn't know they're Jews would you think so just from their faces? In the case of every member?

    Also, do you think some Jews are just Iberians whose family converted a long time ago or all portuguese-jews are semitic or many are mixed?
