Have you ever heard Portuguese "Fado" music?

Briefly, fado is typical of the portuguese and nostalgia associates with the husband or boyfriends who went to the findings in oceanos. O empire then formed from the fifteenth century was sumer many men who died or were there.

Yes, while on holiday in Portugal we often did, and it was always a great night...

Thanks blindfaith, that was very nice!

Following the Mariza video, was an instramental "Rapsodia fados tradicionais" I like very much!

Yes, the instramental, they have a sound similar to the Greek traditional music. You have a wide range of musical tastes, and appear to be embedded in strings, my taste also.

thanks for posting this ... you have introduced me to something new!! you're the first one to do so today (and my day is winding down!!)

I'm very happy to do so. Have a good night!

para voce tambem!

Thanks Mark, I'm not sure which one at the end you mean. Your link brought me back to my video.

you're right ... 8^( ... i'll have to try again ...

Yes, it is the same young man. He has an amazing voice, and puts his whold heart and soul into the song.

Yes, very nice voice, older and deeper, but sings very well.

hmmm ... i like the Brasilian pronunciation better, i think ...

then again ... Portuguese pronunciation is pretty nice too ...

Brazilians speak Portuguese

Yup!! I love it too!

is Fado for younger singers, maybe??

Actually, there are not many ,good young singers of Fado. I read that the portugese do not have much appreciation for the treble voice. They prefer the more husky voice.

Very good also!

Yes! I like Maritza the best. Her voice has power.

Thanks Terry, I will give a listen to her.

Yes, it is lovely, very moving.

Thanks wtxwoman, I agree!

Yes I had a friend who was really into it!

Thanks Rob :) I especially like the treble voice of the young singers.

I like all sorts of what could be described as country/folk/blues but from different countries... Andean pan flute music and Flamenco for starters!

Yes, I'm starting to get into the music of other countries also. I've taken a liking to Mexican Mariachi of late.

I know it's not genuine but there's a TV advert over here that features a Mariachi band doing covers of pop songs... their version of "Don't You Want Me Baby" is brilliant!

Ha Ha! They are actually very good Mariachi Musicians.

Portuguese blues... really, really nice!

Thanks sockpuppet :)

yes

Thanks Sister Jean :)

Yes

Thanks Nam :)
