My impression of Portuguese people is nicely captured by Fado. Celebrating and reveling in sadness. Their natural beauty and wonderful weather seems lost on them.

I had never heard of Fado before, but have been researching Portugal for an upcoming trip and kept seeing the word everywhere... Thanks for sharing this video, I can't wait to hear Fado in real life!

What a beautiful country, people make it, what it is

Anyone in love with life should visit Portugal once and listen to Fado in a Fado house!

Yeah, to say the least, Fado encompasses everything!

This is Fado brought me here through FIFA!
I knew Fado sounds Portuguese, now I know! ❤

In my country (Luxembourg) there live a lot of purtuguese and when ever I here fado I here something familiar as a Luxembourger. I wish there was someting similar in my home language, it would be great. Pelase, we need more deep songs in luxembourgish in this way.

It's like a mix between flamenco and blues

Is Fado the root of keroncong music of Indonesia?

Do they sing Fado in Região Autónoma dos Açores?

Sorry, have to point out a big fail of the narrator. You did a wonderful job narrating in English, but you pronounced "saudade" the way a Brazilian would say it, which is highly inappropriate considering you're educating us about Portuguese music.

jealousy, pain, love and betrayal. Sounds like country music

Fado. Longing for what? For the gloire of the fantastic historical past? I really dunno.
