Pronúncia do Norte, with guest singer Isabel Silvestre. Also in

She still clearly differentiates apical sounds (as in European
Spanish) written ss, s and laminal sounds written c, ç and z. Galician
speakers also do that, except that the apical sounds have usually
become [T] there.

Isabel Silvestre is from Manhouce (with a diphthong <ou> and a laminal
<c>, of course):

Clear example of the apical /s/ and /z/: teus olhos (0:45).

In the song ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=79j_Ni8wtlY ), Manhouce
(0:12, 0:40) and ) and doce don't rhyme, for the other singer (1:24),
they do.

Isabel Silvestre prefers the rural lingual r in Serranita, the other
singer uses the more modern, city type uvular r.
