|
| Fado,
the beautiful and evocative traditional music of Portugal,
is the music of sorrow and longing - songs that convey
the poetry of love. Right now there's a massive revival
and at the forefront of the new wave is Mariza, a
stunning, internationally acclaimed singer of Portuguese-Mozambican
extraction. 'Mariza and the story of fado' examines
the art of fado, its history and development, featuring
interviews with and performances by Mariza and other
fadistas, musicians and experts. Filmed for the BBC
on location in Lisbon, Portugal, the programme contains
archive footage of famous past singers, including
the legendary Amalia Rodrigues, as well as images
of the city itself, evoking a great sense of atmosphere.
Central to the programme is a specially filmed concert
given by Mariza and her musicians in the UK. |
