A popular genre, fado is a form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor, and infused with sentiments of resignation and melancholia.

They are accompanied by Francisco Carvalhinho on the Portuguese guitar and Martinho d’Assunção on the Spanish guitar, or viola. Liner notes include Portuguese lyrics with an English summary of each song.
