I thought it was great. I loved that the guitarists would shush the audience before they played. Shut up and listen. very intimate, no amps. Caught a flamenco show in cordoba as well, loved it, not portuguese but same type of soul singing from the diaphragm,and guitars with added percussive tapping clapping and dance, great influences. I will be researching some fado for sure. Wonder who the Paco de Lucia of fado is?
So you already gone? Damn! Should have said something, I would have come and meet you
Yeah, Fado has this tradition of starting with someone saying: “please be silent, Fado is about to be sung”. In most places, musicians will even stop playing and stare at the audience until they calm down and listen. People always do
As for the master on the guitar there are several, but this is the one that revolutionized the role of the instrument in our popular culture: he became one of the symbols of the revolution while, at the same time, creating the tradition of developing instrumental pieces that people will listen to with the same eagerness and respect as they do the singed songs.
His name was Carlos Paredes check him out:
