Fado (portuguese fate.. V lat fatum = destiny, divine will) is a Portuguese style of music and speech genre, which is found mainly in the cities of Lisbon and Coimbra. Works of this style mostly act of unrequited love, social injustices, past times, or longing for better times, and especially of the saudade. The Fado includes, among other Arab elements, many different pitches and many minor sounds, and expresses that feeling of life that you want to connect the Portuguese together.
My Conclusion:
Wonderful sounds erntfürhen yourself in a wonderful world where peace and harmony prevail basiernd on LOVE.
But where the connection to reality is not lost! That is why the dominant rather melancholy sounds.
I can heartily just to be encouraging this album zuzulegen! Mariza's voice is a very pleasant, yet spirited voice, but also invites to dance to contemplate! I wish =) Have fun!
