Fado Português: A Noite Tem Saudade 🌙 | Beautiful Portuguese Fado, 1950s–1960s

Some things are easier to remember at night. Not necessarily the important things. Sometimes it's an old photograph, a name you haven't said in years, or the exact hour when someone used to call. I was looking through the titles of these twelve songs and noticed how many of them are about time. The same hour. Every year. Tomorrow. A road that doesn't lead back. Perhaps that's why they belong together. A Noite Tem Saudade — The Night Has Saudade — is a collection of twelve original Portuguese fado songs, inspired by the romantic sound of Portugal in the 1950s and 1960s. The music carries the spirit of traditional Fado Português, with expressive female vocals, the unmistakable sound of guitarra portuguesa and melodies that move between tenderness, longing and quiet heartbreak. There is something especially beautiful about listening to fado after sunset. In this video, the music accompanies changing nighttime scenes of Portugal — old streets, illuminated windows, historic architecture and the Portuguese coast after dark. A little of the Portugal we know, and a little of the Portugal we imagine from old films and photographs. All twelve songs are original recordings performed by Helena do Mar for Portuguese Retro Studio. They are inspired by classic Portuguese music, not archival recordings from the 1950s or 1960s. If one of these songs stays with you, tell me which one. I'd really love to know. And thank you for spending a little of your evening here. 🌙❤️ — Helena do Mar 🎶 THE SONGS 00:00:00 É Contigo 00:04:27 À Mesma Hora 00:08:29 Todos Os Anos 00:12:43 Quando A Maré Baixa 00:17:02 O Caminho Que Não Volta 00:21:01 Ainda Ficas Em Mim 00:24:34 Se Amanhã 00:28:34 A Fotografia Da Turma 00:31:44 Se Fores Tu 00:35:39 Diz O Meu Nome 00:39:04 Foi Assim Que Te Amei 00:42:22 Entre O Sim E O Silêncio 🎧 HELENA DO MAR — LISTEN ON STREAMING PLATFORMS Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/1C0rh...
