FADO

Hello,

In the past couple of years, we've been talking about FADO (in "new terms").
From Carlos Saura's film/documentary, called also "FADO", to Mariza's International career and the new voices that are editing nowadays.

Some of FADO's homages come also from abroad and i'd like to take you back to 1994 and precisely to track #10 of the Durutti Column's , "Sex and Death" record.

Vini is my all time favourite guitar player, he can almost do anything with a guitar and play many "roles". Above all he can bring melody to any sound or tune, using guitar, bass or piano. He diserves more recognition i think.....

Well, like a sparkle, he "gaves birth" to this tune "Fado" with the sampled voice of the great Amália, the Portuguese greatest Fado Singer. In 1996 on the record "Fidelity" he uses her voice again with fine resul.

Listen on right screen player (1st music) and watch the video from Manchester Music Festival, dated 1991. Viny, always in the company of the great Bruce Mitchel on drums.

I still keep Vin's used guitar string used on this album in my collection.

Happy 2009 to all of you.
