Marta Pereira da Costa: Tiny Desk Concert

[@bleeknoir]

Nothing sounds like the Portuguese guitar. Wonderful stuff.

[@sharonammirati2042]

So wonderful to see a woman rocking the Portuguese guitar, traditionally a masculine endeavor. What an amazing trio, loved this.❤

She's actually the only woman playing the Portuguese guitar professionally. Superb interpretation.

Big love from Portugal!

[@FluxTrax]

I once spoke to a Swedish folk music musician who went to a study trip in Gambia in Musicology class and although the rhythms felt really complex and difficult, learning to play the Kora felt natural and familiar. Maybe both musical traditions have received similar impulses from the east

[@MrJoaoTraquete]

If you miss somebody.. If you're longing for someone or something.. If you're proud of your past and ancestors.. If you ever felt extremely happy or sad.. This music will make you feel something inside yourself if you're a proud Portuguese, hope it can do the same for others. Viva Portugal!

This is still Fado

[@oneovthafew]

@@lopazio não, não é tudo fado! Nestes vinte minutos tem fado, morna, choro, etc. Está na altura de deixar essa mania que esse fabuloso instrumento, que é a guitarra portuguesa, pertence exclusivamente ao fado!

[@PedroNovaes82]

@@oneovthafewa Marta é fadista

[@Icneumone7]

There's many schools of Fado. Not only the traditional. Around 150 in Portugal and many more in lusophone countries. Traditional fado is imistakable and exists only in certain parts of Portugal. Fado is most commonly used in Portugal by university students and it is used for many different purposes. It is often connected to romanticism and serenading, other takes a more political stance, but it is all in its essence Fado. And this is only traditional Fado. When you delve into the popular, then there is a whole range of music and tradition that not even the most cultured Portuguese can learn it all.

[@franciscojosemesacordero5763]

Soy español, de Andalucía( Sevilla) y me vuelve loco la guitarra portuguesa y como la toca Marta Pereira así como el sentimiento que pone en ello además de los fados.

[@StylusPT]

Faz um ano que estive em Sevilla e pude ouvir finalmente ao vivo o flamengo e outros sons de Sevilla e sem dúvida consegui sentir um paralelismo ao fado, o toque árabe e a profundidade na alma em ambos os estilos ligam-nos.

It's funny how you just listen to the first notes and you can automatically tell it's Portuguese. Coming from a Portuguese person, I guess that's why. I grew up listening to this stuff.

[@mattiafioravanti8475]

[@andre_simoes_pt]

I'm Portuguese and I've never heard of her before, my fault. Fado is not a genre that I put on my playlist, but as a Portuguese there's something about the portuguese guitar sound that touches me and even makes me emotional, it's like a sound that I can see, I can see the landscapes of my country, I can see the people, I can see moments of my life and of our collective life as a country.

[@pedroe.ferreira5592]

I feel you bro!

[@PedrocamaroSS]

Ouve o fado laranjeira tocado pela Marta e pelo Camané, incrivel de ouvir

[@LuisNunes-ps4sl]

I had also seen her only once before. I sort of like fado, but only in small doses, can't stand sad music for long.😁😁 If something a lot more celtic would suit you better, look up a band from Trás dos Montes called Urze de Lume.
