Nelo - O Fado Foi A Madrid

Review by Robin Rand

Nelo's album, O Fado Foi A Madrid, is a beautiful tribute to the traditional Portuguese music genre, fado. The album features 10 tracks, each one a unique and heartfelt expression of Nelo's love for fado.

From the opening track, "Fado da Saudade," to the closing number, "Fado Vadio," Nelo's voice is rich and soulful, conveying the emotions of each song with authenticity and grace. The instrumentation on the album is also top-notch, with beautiful guitar work and haunting accordion melodies adding depth and texture to the songs.

One standout track is "Fado das Mãos," which showcases Nelo's ability to convey complex emotions through his voice. The song tells the story of a woman who has lost her lover and is left with only memories of their time together. Nelo's voice captures the pain and longing of the woman, making the listener feel as though they are experiencing the same emotions.
