WHAT IS TRANSFADO? Lusitanian music, "tanguera", iberian, transatlantic, timeless, "transfadic". Fado with a Latin and Afro mood, blended with Tango, Milonga, Morna, Rumba, Habanera... pleasure. Vibrant songs. Theatrical impact. Deep voice. Piano, double bass and portuguese guitar. Music for the soul. For the senses. For the body. Loud and sound. Bold music. Transfado is universal, as we are. Fados, warm and new, old and beloved, with other rhythms and sonorities. We introduce uplifting emotions in the traditionally portuguese ecstatic intensity. New lyrics for charismatic melodies and unexpected, unpublished songs. Eternal poets and contemporary lyricists inhabit fado with other words, because Transfado is anti-tragedy, anti-depressive, self-motivating, accomplice, pro-active. Yes, it is a Cd. And a Show. And a Manifesto.
