TDW's Portugal visit slide show video.

TD Andrew, I made this for you, hope you like it....toma meu amigo, com muita amizade!!

This was made with the photos that TDW took with his camera during his visit to Portugal. I put them together and put the song.

The music style in this video is called FADO, and basically means faith..it's a secular Portuguese style of song that portrays heart felt sadness, but at the same time, it transmits joy and happiness, tells history, talks about the sea, the boats, the fishermen etc... SEE HERE

It is normally related to the sea, but also sings about love, broken hearts, sadness, towns, people dead or alive, etc..I know it must be hard for you English speaking folks to understand, and probably to you, non Portuguese it means nothing..still, I tried..at least hear the tune. But I am curious to know if you like it, because the foreigners, when they visit us fall in love with the FADO.

Its a song style that only exists in portugal and is allways played with a Portuguese Guitar, a unique instrument that is said to cry when it plays..with a Iberian guitar and a bass guitar to support, which you can hear in the background behind the Portuguese guitar.

The Portuguese Guitar is a 12 string instrument, and is very old...it originates from the alaude and other renaiscance instruments...its a very very old instrument, whose crying sounds are perfect to sing the fado, and provide the right tone and nostagia, which is what FADO is good about...to give you noble clean sadness and happiness....it's a heroes song too.

The artist in this video is the great MARIZA, see here, probably the best FADO singer of today.

The FAdo in this video is called: "Oh Gente da minha terra" (Oh people of my land)

If you are interested in hearing more FADO, let me know, I can post a few more. (altough I think you will not like it because you don't understand, and then its void).

Anyway..here it is, PLEASE make sure you put your headphones on..it's worth it...believe me..her voice....her voice...

Ao meu amigo Andre..Alex



If you want to hear more, let me know I can google a few good fados for you.

Hope you like this, and let me know what you think.

Thanks for watching

Alex

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
