Fátima Santos - Fado

Records - Julho 27, 2015
"Fado", the latest album by Fátima Santos, is a compilation of traditional fados, some of them with contemporary poems, including "Fado da noite de fado", an original composition.

The classic melodies "Alfacinha", "Mayer", "Franklin", "Adiça", "Perseguição" and "Pintadinho" are revisited here in the expressive voice of Fátima Santos.

The arrangements for guitars, by José Luis Iglésias, respect the traditional format, adventuring by unexpected harmonies and solos very close to the "jazz" border. There is also room for references to Frei Hermano da Câmara and Mario Moniz Pereira, with emotional performances of, respectively, "Ave Maria" and "Leio em teus olhos".

"Fado" ends with the ultimate composition of fado, "Gaivota". Fátima Santos performs this theme in a free style, in constant dialogue with the portuguese guitar, exploring modulations and chords that evoke Carlos Paredes.

Fátima Santos is a portuguese singer living in the United States. Her discography includes: "Nostalgia" (2003), "Coimbra Fado" (2004), "Coimbra" (2011), "Nitidez do comum" (2011) and "Fado" (2015).
