“Destroyed souls, lost nights, complaining guitars, sorrow, love and jealousy—all this is fado.” This is the translation of “Tuo Isto É Fado,” a song describing the fado genre. While fado is typically performed in restaurants or pubs, this album brings fado to center stage with the Shegundo Galarzo Orchestra and Jorge Fontes on Portuguese guitar. Supported by an orchestra and skilled fadistas (fado singers), these classic songs describe the sea, lost love, and reminisce over the city of Lisbon. Liner notes include short descriptions of each song.
