Frei Fado d'El Rei

Fado is the sounding board of the Portuguese tradition. The subdued mysterious melodies suggest that the people are only willing to reveal their deepest secrets slowly. At the same time, the music expresses an indomitable desire. Frei Fado d'El Rei was inspired by the world-famous Madredeus, but mixes pure fado with folklore, flamenco and Celtic music. This makes their sound richer, more adventurous and fuller. This music leads you on sandals along a sandy path to Portuguese village squares, churches, traditions and memories. With the combination of beautiful vocals, creative percussion and warm string playing, Frei Fado d'El Rei offers a musical window into the history of Portugal. Sit back, give yourself that look and experience the Portuguese saudade feeling...
