No FAV without comment

In a corner of Lisbon, in the neighbourhood of Mouraria, you’ll find the escadinhas de São Cristóvão, where an artist collective has created the impressive mural “Fado Vadio”. This inspired and original tribute to fado, Lisbon’s iconic music and classified as intangible cultural heritage, is one of the city’s must-see places. The symbols and figures from the history of fado have been portrayed over various walls. Fernando Maurício and Maria Severa, lyrics, bread and water on the table: these are just a few of the elements decorating this unique corner of Lisbon.

Este gato de rua está castrado, basta reparar numa das orelhas e é seguido pelo grupo que presta serviço comunitário para que estes gatos possam continuar a viver na rua pois têm assistência de médicos veterinários que fazem este voluntariado. Este parece «irmão» do meu gato Tigradinho»

Lisbon street art. Not normally featured in photos of this site because they’re round the corner, I think the gossiping women (plus cat) on the left are the best part of this piece.

At the time, Salazar used to say Portugal was the country of the three “F’s” – Football, Fado and Fátima.

 

When you walk around the historical neighborhoods in Lisbon, it’s common to see signs in front of several Restaurants saying Fado presentation tonight.

 

Fado means fate, destiny, but often speaking of Fado is also speaking of longing. “Saudade” is a word that exists just in Portuguese and that, in some aspects, defines what is to be Portuguese. It’s something that resembles melancholy and nostalgia.

 

The singer, called Fadista can be either a woman or a man. Each Fado house has several voices in the cast. The guitarists are usually always the same and, according to tradition, only two: a classical guitar, to make the harmony, and a Portuguese guitar – an instrument with 12 strings and acute sonority, that has its own technique.

 

The essence of Fado is a little bit more than a hundred melodies that end up being altered by the lyrics and the interpretations of the Fadista. It is this restricted number of melodies that allows the instrumentalists to accompany any fado singer at any time, even in the Fado Vadio (interpreted spontaneously by amateurs).

  

Throughout the ages, the lyrics of fados served different purposes. At first, they were a vehicle for telling everyday stories, a kind of oral and popular newscast, about crimes, rumors, and social scandals.

Cultures are never merely intellectual constructs. They take form through the collective intelligence and memory, through a commonly held psychology and emotions, through spiritual and artistic communion.

Fado Crazy mural, Lisbon.

Na boca do vento

Fazer a dança das flores

No meu pensamento..."

One thing that make many of the small alley ways of the Alfama so charming is its street arts.

 

Alfama is the oldest district of Lisbon.

One of the most famous Street paintings of Lisbon, which is dedicated to the music style of Fado. The saxophone player nearly melted with the figures on the wall.

Vadios Aloprando Paredes

na semana

" Sou uma estrela brincando no seio da noite

Uma estrela brilhando

Sou um pedacinho do Sol

Coração sem destino

Preso aos véus da poesia

Sou uma estrela cadente

 

Faça um pedido ao silêncio

Se alguma vez me encontrar

 

Sou um cometa vadio manchando o teu nome

Um mistério infinito

De fogo, de luz e paixão

Aventura sem tino

Mergulhado em fantasia

Sou um cometa vadio

 

Faça um pedido ao silêncio

Se alguma vez me encontrar"

"I'm a star playing in the night.

A shining star

I'm a little piece of the Sun

Heart without destiny

Stuck in the veils of poetry

I'm a shooting star

 

Make a request to silence

If you ever find me

 

I'm a stray comet staining your name.

An infinite mystery

Of fire, of light and passion

Adventure without tino

Plunged into fantasy

I'm a stray comet.

 

Make a request to silence

If ever I meet "
