The musical instruments used in folklore deserve special attention for their variety and authenticity. These are some of them: the machete, the rajão, the braguinha, the viola de arame, the triangle and the popular brinquinho, a locally-manufactured original. As far as garments are concerned, although they have Minho, Moorish, African and Flemish influences, the Madeiran costume has in its combination of colour, its hat and its boots, details of particular uniqueness. In fact, the colourful skirts of the 'viloas have inspired several artists, in fashion work for example, serving as a starting point for ready-to-wear collections.
