Fado, Ombre et Lumière (1995)

Fado is a song that possesses the listener. For two centuries, Fado has spoken to us about Portugal, through the sentimental stories of its people. To go and meet it - through its history, its rites and its protagonists - is to discover the most vivid manifestation of the soul of the Portuguese people. Taking the time to listen to it in a "tasca", these small popular restaurants in Lisbon, is to feel an emotion perceptible far beyond the banks of the Tagus.
