Looking for fado music that is well recorded.
Fado classics, like anything by great Amalia Rodriquez will be poor sound quality. I like Ricardo Ribeiro (try Porta de Coracao) and Antonio Zambujo. Both are great, but Ribeiro is considered one of the finest fado singers of our generation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkFeHZcE0iE |

If you like Portuguese Guitar then get this record (samples on Amazon): https://www.amazon.com/Guitarra-Portuguesa-Carlos-Paredes/dp/B001232MGY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1... |
You could try this, though I don't have the cd, I listened to her on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxHHrzM8DWE |
What a coincidence. I'd just watched a Rick Steves' trip to Lisbon on KCET and Fado was part of the journey; listening to the sad and love torn songs as he ate. Anyone could sing including a cook who took a break from the kitchen. Here's an article on where it's now heading and some links I could find on the music: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2005/nov/18/worldmusic.popandrock https://www.amazon.com/Story-Fado-VARIOUS-ARTISTS/dp/B000005H8V https://www.amazon.com/Best-Fado-Tesouro-Portugues/dp/B004OICFJS https://www.amazon.com/Fado-Carminho/dp/B00447R6EI https://www.thoughtco.com/portuguese-fado-starter-cds-3552810 Hope that helps, All the best, Nonoise |
