Fado becomes music of the world

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Camane's third album, a work of art. In this album one can see that Fado must be labeled not as World music, but as music from the world, any part of this world. And this is so because this music is not dated, nor does it belong to a certain country or region of this round planet. The Portuguese Guitar work is amazing, and Camanes voice is unique and incredibly warm. Also a word for the lyrics, that are very beautiful and profound. Portugal has, by far, some of the most insightful, meaningful and beautiful lyrics in the world. (Good) portuguese musicians and singers always look for quality poems to sing. It's a must, as anything that this artist has produced, so far."
