Free Music Notes for Fado Em MimFree Music Review: The 'fado' is alive !!! Hit: 5 StarsSweet, elegant and powerful voice. Beautiful songs. You don't have to understand portuguese to feel the meaning of these 'fados'.
Free Music Review: Mariza & Fado & Suadades Hit: 5 StarsThe Portuguese say that there is no literal translation for the word "suadades". The is no word that exactly captures the emotional intensity of its meaning in the English language. It's probably best described as the intense emotional ache and inconsoleable deep longing for a treasured-something lost - the love of your life, a joyous life of a time gone by or a child taken before her time.
So when you listen to Fado music, it's probably best to be prepared with with your heart and head in that place, or at least expcect to be trasported there quickly. Having a bottle of red wine, some candles to light and box of tissues on hand is also good preparation.
To that emotional preparation add the inriguing and beautifully aranged music of the fado's minor keys. A simple acoustic guitar trio is all that's required(Portuguese guitar - which is a complex mandolin-type instrument, acoustic gut-stringed guitar and acoustic bass guitar). Yet that simple instrumentaion finds innumerable ways to weave intricate chords and melodic movement throughout each song.
If all that weren't enough to set the mood, imagine Mariza's voice, lyric, sullen, expressive, wide-ranging, lyric, expressive and phrased imaginatively yet perfectly. The woman is a musical genius with melodic instincts like no one I have ever heard.
There is no ussic in the worl with the emotional impact of Fado and there is no singer who can express it better than Mariza. What a wonderful gift she and her music is to the world.
Free Music Review: Awsome voice Hit: 5 StarsI stumbled across Mariza by chance - I was channel flicking and came across a concert of hers on TV. My wife and I sat glued to the set for the next hour - that's how compelling her voice is.
Free Music Review: Sigh! Hit: 2 StarsMariza has the "balls" but not the soul. Amalia Rodrigues was not only the Queen of Fado but one of the greatest singers ever. Mariza is not even close.
Free Music Review: Essa garota pode cantar como uma anja! Hit: 5 StarsMariza has a voice like butter. Smooth, comfortable, sexy, even.
If you are not familiar with the genre, Fados (Portuguese for ?Fates?), is a
folk genre from Portugal that may remind you of Spanish and Italian folk genres, with
unique rythms, mandolin and guitar, soulful singing. I suppose it's hard to explain, but, you should hear it.
Se ja conhece Fados, ? prov?vel que ja conhece a Mariza, quem canta como uma anja...
