What an introduction to Fado! I recently watched Mariza live in Lisbon and was absolutely captivated by her beautiful, soulful singing and stage performance—and by the wonderful orchestra, particularly the string accompaniment by that one, very expressive musician playing the lute-like instrument behind her.
It's not a trite sentiment: We might not understand Portuguese and need to read translations of the lyrics, but the music of Fado itself fills the heart and soul with much emotion, especially so in the way Mariza and the musicians express it for us.
Does anyone know whether this entire "Concerto em Lisboa" is available on DVD (not the CD, which contains only the music tracks)?
