Haunting Music from Portugal for a Monday Morning

Today I'm working on the chapter of Making Waves which will deal with samba and fado as elements of the Brazilian and Portuguese soul. This means that I haven't much time for thinking about other things than music and this project. So today's post concentrates on them.

To the left is a picture of the Lisbon and Coimbra guitarra portuguesa, with their steel strings and their haunting sound. Below is a video of one of the masters play Canção do Mar.
