Introduced by Fiona Talkington.
Walk along the streets of any Portuguese town and city on a summer night, and you may come across a crowd gathered around the open windows, straining to hear the lyrical voice of a popular "fado" singer. The legend is that this famous torch song style singing native to Portugal, originated in Coimbra, thanks to the founder of its famous university being a well-known troubadour.
Fado specialists the Riccardo Dias Ensemble perform both traditional and modern reinventions of Portuguese Fado in this concert, recorded in Romania's Mihail Jora Concert Hall, Bucharest, Romania.
