Maria da Fé Fado's

Inside a 1987 Portugal promotion video on Dutch TV I found two beautiful fado's. Apparently she was and is a famous fado performer. January 2009 she was mentioned once again in a Dutch newspaper article on Fado in Lisbon. Look at and hear how she performed so many years ago. (Lip sync can not be made perfect, it was playback to begin with!) 17 september 2011 she came to Rotterdam and sang as powerful and enthousiastic as ever the same song "Cantarei até que a voz me doa" and other favourites of mine.

I was waiting 20 yrs for this video; couldnt find it earlier. I can remember the TV session, it was on 19.30 in the evening.

Many thanks!

19.30 hrs is correct, it was one of the best in a series of rather touristical promotionial video's. I kept it because of the excellent Maria da Fé fado's and villagers singing Portugese folksongs.

@ReneScheffer You could have visited the Fado evening in Rt (17 sept 2011) where Maria da Fé, Raquel Tavares, Ana Sofia Varela and Beatriz de Conceicao sang for 1,5 hours, "Até que a voze me doa" included. Surprisingly Maria even after more than 50 years of singing was the most enthousiastic of all. She moved and silently spoke the lyrics of the other singers when they held the stage. Ana Sofia came second in drama and Raquel third. I felt dat Beatriz had lost the fire Maria keeps all her life!

Até que a voz me doa (Until my voice hurts) I'll sing until my voice hurts To sing, always sing my Fado (destiny) Like the bird who flies so high And is free to sing anywhere I'll sing until my voice hurts To my country, to my land, to my people To nostalgia and sadness that hurts The love of the one who loves and dies absent I'll sing until my voice hurts To love, to peace full of hope To the smile and joy of the child I'll sing until my voice hurts

Thanks for the translation, I never new the title fully (thought it meant to sing until you can no more, or until my voice gives up on me..)

Fine service from Portuguese fans (of which there seem to be many!) :-D on

I've been looking for "O Teu Nome Meu Amor" for a while on YOUTUBE since a previous link went dead. Muito obrigadinho para ter compartido conosco!

... O teu nome... Meu amor... é um rio no coração que se agite no corrente! :)

Well, I'm glad to be of assistance here. Of course I looked for your line in Portuguese in the Dutch undertitles for better understanding. I deeply regret not mastering Portuguese and my Spanish is very limited as well. But one consolation remains: Fado's do not need exact understanding of words, the feelings always come across anyhow.

Love this video.I`m Dutch but never saw this on TV. Maria da Fe celebrated her 50 years artists jubilee a few years ago. She will be performing at the Great Night of Fado at De Doelen in Rotterdam on September 17th
