Powerful. I'm glad to find this. So little is known of fado outside Portugal. This is as moving as blues or other forms of soulful musical styles. I wonder how much influence fado had in other countries, particularly the former colonies.If they do exist, they have blended and morphed so well, there seem to be no remaining evidence of it. Puzzling...
@lapwiz let's cherish this secret, and keep it close to the portuguese seas... in my opinion bossanova and samba is very close to this (tom jobim, joao gilberto...) - another secret to love and to hold!
@nik78757 quite a juxtaposition of words to contemplate -- uneducated fag. read it back to yourself a few times and think about how the two words resonate.
Linda música, eu como Brasileiro tenho orgulho de todas as manifestações culturais resultantes da cultura Portuguesa, que é a minha cultura também.
Para quem não sabe o Samba tem suas origens no Fado, que mais tarde se misturou a música dos negros escravos e dão origem ao Samba de Enredo e todos as suas variações.
O saudosismo das letras, a melancolia, faz parte do Fado e da Poesia portuguesa...abraço aos irmãos Portugueses.
@JKuaresma It says breast not breasts. In English breast in this context is just a more poetic emotional way of saying chest (where the heart beats), it doesn't have gender the male and female breast are the same. Its got nothing to do with womens breasts.
Pure joy! Cristina's voice is as pure as air...And the accompaniment...the Portuguese guitar is crying the song of sorrow. Incredible! Unfortunately, I cannot find this CD in US. Thanks so much for this video.
Isto é simplesmente incrivel! E pouca gente sabe que a Cristina interpretou uma canção emblemática do folclore Argentino intitulado "Alfonsina y el mar" de Ariel Ramirez e, é tão soberba a interpretação que os proprios Argentinos a elogiam. Força Cristina e uma grande carrreira
Indeed in love for attempting to translate it and thank you, however it is not fully accurate..never the less it is better than my attempt..!! Um dia... :)
ghaa ...!!! does fado get any bätter than this???? this one song puts branco above all other fado chantreuse...i bow to your talang...jag bugar till din talang och till din skulldi i fado. gud välsigne dig!
It doesn't capture the poetry... the translation is too literal... having said that, i wont volunteer for the job of translating it... difficult poem.
one of the best fados ever!!! who is cristina, the wonderful lady with a voice of a goddess? I cried all the time while she sang. thank you cristina, for this spectacular performance!
I do wish she would record more fado. She does have one of the best voices (if a little cold), and here she shows just how well she can sing fado standards. Her version of Fria Claridade is my favourite. Sadly, too many fadistas (such as the wonderful Misia) are moving away from fado to other forms.
Cristina, sempre a surpreender. Para mim, das melhores - se não a melhor - fadista de momento. Pela sua voz, mas especialmente pela sua originalidade. Evoluções espontâneas e super contemporâneas. Uma verdadeira lufada de ar fresco na cena fadista. Obrigado Cristina!
Superb moment of exceptionnal grace. Does that Film Cristina Branco - A Minha Casa exists on dvd form ?
Regardless of the fact that I'm a fan of Crisitna Branco eversince her first album (thanks to the Dutch!!!), I think she is at her best when Custódio Castelo is on guitar. They both inspiring each other amazingly.
I LOVE fado and this performance is amazing! thank to Pieter for sending me this video. Many greetengs to all of you loving this kind of music too....Natali.
What a gorgeous video! I really hope I'll be able to find this on dvd, somehow. THIS is one of the greatest uses of YouTube, to share beauty like this with so many of us, for whom these are new discoveries! Thank you so very much!
Yes, this was so lovely. I thank you for sharing. I know portuguese and so the english lyrics were a bit bothersome as they only attempt to grasp the delicate nuances of what she is singing.
I do appreciate the treasure!
She is truly portuguese, not brazilian
and I am unfamiliar with the portuguese,
though I do know the fado.
Thanks so much. This is why I grow to love you more all the time, my friend!
The song performed here is Gaivota [Seagull] on the album "Ulisses" from 2005. Each and every track is a heart-tugging work of beauty. Her cover of "Case of You" is a wonder, excelling Diana Krall's by sheer virtue of its true replication of style,and having just listened to Joni's a moment ago,Cristina's is to my ear more pleasing.Having been born in 1960, I've loved Joni's work all my life it seems,yet Cristina's voice in all the work I've become familiar with is an instrument of the Gods.
Having been a joni fan most of my life and as a singer/songwriter guitarist, I have been most influenced by her... I would LOVE to hear Cristina perform one of my favorite Joni tunes. Do you know where it can be heard online? Obrigada
Olá Cristina (Cristina Branco) ...

These: wenn der Mensch sich „drein gibt“, der Musik hingibt, erfährt der Mensch ganz unmittelbar:

Wer sich was Gutes tun will, hört hin und merkt sogleich der eigenen Seele Bewegung:
0. Zum weinen schöner Fado: Die absolute (weibliche) Hingabe.
Ein Symbol für die menschliche Seele? - wenn sie sich nach Angenommensein, Liebe,... letztlich zu Gott hin sehnt?
