Fado Lisboa Coimbra 1926-1941/ Various - Fado/Lisboa-Coimbra 1926-1941

(2-CD set) Originating from Lisbon's bad lot and then from students in Coimbra, fado is an expression of saudade, the spleen forever associated with the Portuguese soul. These recordings, made between 197 and the mid-thirties, restore it's very essence.
