Thanks for listening fado. Great videos. To listen some portuguese guitar try "Carlos Paredes", To listen to a great solo inside a great song liste to "Fado de Alfama" And to listen one of the most greatest "fadistas", try "Lucília do Carmo", the way she finished the words were very diferent, we didn't had anyone like her. All the others, oldest and new ones uses a lot of the vibrato, and a long last syllable, but she used a very different technique.
She is the first female on a professional level to play the Portuguese guitar, fado always consists of the singer either male or female and traditionally 3 or two male guitarists, one on the Portuguese guitar one or two in the acoustic guitar
She is playing the Portuguese Guitar (12 strings guitar) which is unique toPirtugal and essential elemento of Fado. There many Portuguese Guitar years, but she is the only female player. Does that help?
First FEMALE! What's confusing about that? Guitarist means in this case a PORTUGUESE GUITAR player. A Portuguese guitar is the type of guitar she is playing, which has 12 strings and makes this unique sound.
She's the only one playing the portuguese guitar on this song (fado guitar.. There's no fado music without portuguese guitar or portuguese citara) ... The man guitarist is playing a spanish guitar ( classic guitar) ... ... She's the only woman playing portuguese guitar professionally.. All the other portuguese guitar professionals are men
Fado music is a form of Portuguese singing that is often associated with pubs, cafés, and restaurants. This music genre officially originated in Portugal around the 1820s, though it is thought to have much earlier origins. Fado is known for how expressive and profoundly melancholic it is. In fado music, the musician will sing about the hard realities of daily life, balancing both resignation and hopefulness that a resolution to its torments can still occur. It can be described by using the Portuguese word “saudade,” which means “longing” and stands for a feeling of loss. This loss is generally permanent and of long-term consequence. Fado music often has one or two 12 string guitars, one or two violas, and sometimes a small 8 string bass. There are a few other differences between Lisbon and Coimbra, aside from the group of people the music appeals to. Lisbon-style can be sung by anyone regardless of gender, while Coimbra-style is only sung by males. Coimbra-style generally is about finding hope in the everyday hardships that people live through. In contrast, Lisbon-style would suggest surrender when being faced with those hardships. Lisbon-style often features improvisation during performances, whereas Coimbra-style is constantly rehearsed before performances.
A google "translation" of this poem just to have some ideia: In tender orange tree Still tiny Where was a blackbird As day declines And after kissing you The glittery mouth A name I recorded there Your name Maria After kissing you The glittery mouth A name I recorded there Your name Maria Around a heart Also with art and style Surrounding your name My hand recorded I carved you a date And the work done How to be love In the trunk there was I carved you a date And the work done How to be love In the trunk there was But in the rough trunk I miss you The symbol of love That once united us Chain of illusions From our youth That time has rusted And then he left Chain of illusions From our youth That time has rusted And then he left And the beautiful orange tree Altar That has the color of hope The color of emeralds Go brides reap The symbolic flowers To weave in a dream The virgin wreaths Go brides reap The symbolic flowers To weave in a dream The virgin wreaths
You have to come to Lisbon to a fado tipical fado house! Live fado! You will love all the atmosphere while eating a pastel de bacalhau and having a wine! 😁
