Fado in Faro

Fado in Faro
Taken and heard whilst taking a stroll around the edges of the city of Faro, Portugal in the Summer of 2013. We heard this splendid guitar type music and looked up to see this musician happily playing here. Notice the cigarette hanging from his mouth.
Fado is a music genre that can be traced to the 1820s in Lisbon,

Fado music example to listen to whist viewing this full screen here.

Good to see you again Gordon. I had heard of Fado before we went here as we had seen buskers in Madeira singing it. It really is more to do with singing I think rather than just instrumental but I do like the guitar music that comes with this. - No the fellow was only playing his instrument not singing or at least not singing loud. I think the building here was the back of a restaurant with live folk music at times and so he was probably the resident artiste.
