Fado - no other portrayal of the Portuguese soul captures it as vividly
as these wistful songs of heartbreak, unrequited love, and parting.
Before this Portuguese elegy became socially acceptable at the end of
the nineteenth century, it could only be heard in Lisbon's dark portside
bars. Authentic photographs by Luis Pavao capture the mood of the
sensual songs and melodies presented here. Music CDs: The collection of
music in Fado Portuguése serves as an introduction to the wise and weary
lamentations on romance that Lisbon is famous for, but also includes
guitarradas (instrumentals) from Coimbra. The musicians and singers
featured on the compilation range from established masters like Antonio
Chainho, to more contemporary artists such as Paulo Braganca and Lenita
Gentil. Fado is more than a musical style; it is powerful enough to be
an emotion in and of itself - restless, yearning, and wistful to the
last lingering tone.
