Hey guys, I'm glad to be back for this week's OpenMic! This time I invited Mariline Hortigueira, who sings Fado, the most typical portuguese musical genre, added in 2011 to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.
As wikipedia states, "Fado (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈfaðu]; "destiny, fate") is a music genre that can be traced to the 1820s in Lisbon, Portugal, but probably has much earlier origins. In popular belief, fado is a form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor, and infused with a sentiment of resignation, fatefulness and melancholia. This is loosely captured by the Portuguese word saudade, or "longing", symbolizing a feeling of loss (a permanent, irreparable loss and its consequent lifelong damage)."
Famous singers of fado include Amália Rodrigues, Dulce Pontes, Carlos do Carmo, Mariza, Mafalda Arnauth, António Zambujo, Ana Moura, you may have heard about some of these!
It is typically played with portguese guitar, a plucked string instrument with twelve steel strings, which I try to reproduce in the solo part. I'm also using a loop pedal to create some layers, evertything played live.
Hope you enjoy it!
*Here's also the Youtube version.
Absolutely loved it!! I love Fado music, so emotionally expressive!
The looping gave a modern feel to the traditional Fado, and it works really well.

That sounds amazing! I loved her voice, and the loop layers add a nice touch!
PS: is it called "Desfado" because it doesn't sound as mournful? I find it rather cheerful, but I do hear the word sad in the lyrics (it sounds similar in spanish)

Hey @lilixblack, thanks a lot! I really like using the loop to creat this kind of rythm! Well, I don't know about the name, but in fact it's a very happy song, unlike the tradicional Fados, so you might be right!

Ahah that's the goal here! This is a modern type of Fado, not so slow and sad as the more tradicional, it's having a huge sucess lately, not only in Portugal but also on some other countries! Happy to bring it to the OpenMic!

How curious that the melody and harmony of this song are quite similar to the typical of a folklore genre of my country, especifically from my region, East of Venezuela, the coast. Greetings! The girl sings super cool.
