• Fado can be traced back to the early 19th Century in Portugal and is a form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor. Some enthusiasts claim that fado’s origins are a mixture of African slave rhythms with the traditional music of Portuguese sailors and Arabic influences.

• The music is linked to the Portuguese word ‘saudade’ – this word has no match in English but it could be understood as nostalgia felt while missing something or someone important.

• Mainstream fado performances during the 20th century included only a singer, a Portuguese guitar player and a classical guitar player but more recent settings range from singer and string quartet to full orchestra.

• The ‘Beginner’s Guide to Fado’ presents an introduction to the many styles of this music and it’s biggest and most interesting artists.

• CD1 ‘Fado Legends’ presents the greatest ever fadista Amália Rodrigues who as the “Rainha do Fado” (“Queen of Fado”) popularised fado worldwide. This CD also features other seminal figures in fado such as Carlos do Carmo & Maria Da Fé.

• CD2 features the best ‘Fado Fusion’ – contemporary artists who are pushing the boundaries of fado and re-inventing the music fusing it with other styles such as Citânia, Lisbon City Rockers, V Imperio and Lura.

• CD3 is all about ‘Fado Now!’ and this CD gathers together those who are making waves in contemporary fado and who look set to be legends in years to come such as Deolinda , Joana Amendoeira & Ana Moura amongst others.
