V2: FADO

Fado is an authentic music-genre more than a hundred years old, and it was born in Lisbon, the capital famous as the seaport where a mixture of cultures came to anchor after crossing the oceans separating the Azores from Brazil and Africa. In this anthology, which spans the Fifties, the beautiful sounds of Fado are carried by the voices of the genre’s principal heroine, Amália Rodrigues, the legendary Alfredo Marceneiro and the splendid singer Carlos Ramos, together with artists representing the other face of Fado, the Coimbra style.
