[Winter Break] Fado and Holding the Beautiful Somber There
New Music
During this little winter break I’m taking, I plan on moving slowly again and practicing the craft of lingering for a while. And when it is an add to the moment, I’m going to dive into music. One specific piece of the world I’ll be visiting this time will be Fado and holding the beautiful somber there.
I came across Fado by way of a recommendation. A soulful and wise person I met through an international fellowship at work told me I should give it a listen. He said it just seemed to fit me, after only a few days together. The artist I will be giving a good listen to is Amália Rodrigues. A friend gave me a book of her work after traveling in Portugal, and now it is time to hear her sing.
