How could you leave me, my darling? My heart bleeds for your love. If only I could sing like this, I would miss you less. Exquisite fado from Lisbon & Coimbra, mostly accompanied by the standard fado combo of Portuguese guitar, guitar, and bass. Both contemporary and classic fado is represented. It’s all gorgeous, but I liked these the best. 1. Warm and swaying w/rich male vocals. 2. Strong female vocals w/lots of emotion. Relaxed & sad. 4. A teenage boy w/a a surprisingly mature (and feminine) vox. 5. Gorgeous female vox/guitar, a relaxed, more contemp. sound. 8. Coimbra-style guitar-based instrumental. Wonderfully played. 9. The classic fado diva. Lush, old-fashioned & passionate. 10. Slow & elegant w/guitars & tragic male vocals. 14. Clear female vocals/guitars. Midtempo. 17. Sweet & passionate fem. vox, guitars, slow & full of longing. 19. Soft & deep female vocals w/a gentle sense of sorrow. 6/2004 | ||
