Have you ever felt chills after listening to fado? If so, you felt Portugal in your heart.
Our traditional music is not to be ignored, as it is an incarnation of the Portuguese soul, its desires, regrets and deep emotions — like saudade. Saudade is the tragic feeling of melancholy and nostalgia when you miss something or someone. It’s in the Portuguese blood, of the sailors that left to sea and whom their families never saw again.
Fado, the sung lamentation accompanied with the Portuguese guitar, is an unmatchable experience.
