200 years of fado

Written by 

It is a publication that covers the history of this heritage and also provides several songs that run through two centuries.

Informally discusses the route of fado over its two hundred years of existence, a tour that includes a music book and two CD with 50 themes and the most iconic singers of our country. It is like telling of a story in multiple voices, which also includes a guide to some of the best fado houses in Portugal and abroad, sightseeing, and some recommended sites on the Internet and also suggested 10 albums, books and important films. This work is still divided into two different times, on one hand the traditional fado which includes one of the most remarkable singers of this musical expression, the eternal, Amália Rodrigues, Alfredo Marceneiro, Herminia Silva and more contemporary fado, which includes voices as Mysia, Ana Moura and other renowned artists of the national scene. I found it strange was the absence of some great references of the fado, given that there was a voting pole in the social networks and included names still little known to the general public. I also emphasize that many of the fados contained in this luxurious collection, bilingual, integrate some of the most beautiful poems of the Portuguese language.
