In the organizer's words:
Tony Riga (Fadista) & Matthias Baumgardt (Guitar)
Fado means fate. And fado are those songs that sing of longing, sadness and the difficult lives of people in Portugal.
Fado means fate. And fado are those songs that sing of longing, sadness and the difficult lives of people in Portugal.
And yet fado has always been criticized. During the Salazar dictatorship, overly critical songs were suppressed and banned. After the Carnation Revolution, fado had a reputation for romanticizing a cruel past. And yet, with fado, the Portuguese had long since created a protected space in which saudade (we would say weltschmerz or melancholy) is welcome. Saudade does not call for encouragement, pity or help, but is felt together in a combative or modest depth, without questions. This shared experience is achieved with the familiar melodies of fado.
