Fado is the most widely recognized genre of Portuguese music, dating back to early 19th century, Lisboa. It is characterized by poetic lyrics related to darker elements of love, loss, and sadness. Fado contains Moorish musical roots, and must follow a specific musical structure. Its eruptive ballads evoke the emotion of saudade-a yearning or longing for something lost. Fado was no doubt popularized by mournful widows having lost their loves to the sea.
Ms. Vieira's work captures traditional fado and influences from the Portuguese diaspora in a musical tapestry that ranges from the whispering, haunting ballads of fado, to American classics and jazzy blues. She also is a prolific pianist and songwriter having penned and composed her own original fados, of which several have been nominated at the International Portuguese Music Awards.
