Guimaraes portugal and Fado musik

The city was founded upon much older settlements by Count Vímara Peres after his namesake (Vimaranis, later Guimaranis), soon after he established the 1st County of Portugal (in 868). As the first capital of Portugal, Guimarães is known as the place where the country was born -- "The Cradle City". In 1095 Count Henry of Burgundy, who had married princess Teresa of León, establishes in Guimarães the 2nd County of Portugal (Condado Portucalense). In July 25, 1109 Afonso Henriques, son of Count Henry of Burgundy, is born in this same city. That is where Duke Afonso Henriques proclaimed Portuguese independence from the Kingdom of León, after the Battle of São Mamede, declaring himself to be Afonso I, king of Portugal

Fado has absolutely NOTHING to do with Guimarães. Fado is a form of expression who was born from the life of 1 city: Lisbon:

70 years ago nobody knew fado in Guimarães. This kind of music only existed in Lisbon and Coimbra, the city where young people from Lisbon went to study.

Today people sell fado has "the voice" of Portugal but the truth is that it is a local phenomenon out of context when reproduced out of Lisbon.

Fado has absolutely NOTHING to do with Guimarães. This is perfectly true.

Despite this, because I love this music, I used this, at the video. Thank you for your comment,
