One of the great fado singers working today, Cristina Branco returns with Ulisses, a lush-sounding album that now more than ever separates her from fado convention. Rather than the typical guitar trio backing, Branco adds piano throughout to a guitar quartet that is, as always, ... |

There are few forms of music more romantic, sentimental, and beautiful than the Portuguese folk style known as fado, which literally means "fate." Fado offers an often transcendent mix of traditional Portuguese love poems, acoustic Mediterranean-style music, and diva-like voca... |
