New approaches to Fado
Fado, the Portuguese melancholic music genre has been recently considered by UNESCO as "Immaterial Heritage of Mankind". So far so good, nice one and congratulations. Indeed, from Godess Amália Rodrigues to Camané and Carminho there are numerous examples of songs, also known as fados, who are there to make you heart melt, to make you faint with sorrow, to make even the hardest cobble stone weep.
But now and then we need to reinvent ourselves and to to avoid excessive traditionalism and fortunately some artists, from Paulo Bragança, to Mísia or Anamar, have been able to give Fado a more contemporary touch. This track is a fine example: Fado played with sinthesizers with the help of the great Carlos Maria Trindade and the great voice by Paulo Bragança.
