Sorry, this upload is really out of sync. I don't know why, so just close your eyes and listen to the music! (LOL)
This clip is from Carlos Saura's 2007 film, "Fados," his tribute to the Portuguese music genre. As in many of Saura's films there is no plot.
Mariza and Miguel Poveda perform "Meu Fado Meu." Poveda is a flamenco singer born in Barcelona in 1973. Mariza is a very popular fado singer worldwide. This matching of Mariza and Poveda provides a dialogue between flamenco and fado.
Fado (translated as destiny or fate) is a music genre which can be traced from the 1820s in Portugal, but probably with much earlier origins. In popular belief, fado is a form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor. However, in reality fado is simply a form of song which can be about anything, but must follow a certain structure.
The combination of the portuguese and spanish translations like this is interesting.
