“Silence! Fado is being sung.”

Crónica do NYT sobre a cultura indígena.

“Fado is about nostalgia, a sadness that is very intimate,” Mr. Sócrates said in an interview. “I’m not a huge fan.” But as fado is a purely Portuguese product, he does not renounce it. “Fado,” he said, “must have the right environment, and the singers must be very special, to give it both beauty and a high standing.” “I promised myself when I entered politics never to sing and never to dance,” he said. “I respect fado too much to imitate it.” link
