		Several transplanted musical traditions – especially from the former African colonies – are also thriving in Lisbon, and foreign styles such as rap and hip-hop have been adapted locally.

	World Music Central - Fado music
		The fado is normally sung by men or women and accompanied by one Portuguese guitar and one classic guitar, which in Portugal is called viola.
		This song reached its golden era in the first half of the 20th century, when the Portuguese dictatorship of Salazar (1926-1968) forced the fado performers to become professional and confined them to sing in the fado houses and the so called "revistas", a popular genre of "vaudeville".
		The essential element of fado music is “saudade,” a Portuguese word that translates roughly as longing, or nostalgia for unrealized dreams.

		The music here is a wonderful mix of cultures even at its most traditional, and Uxia and her talented producer and musicians push these traditions to the breaking point.
		While most of these projects are made to enhance the music of one locale with the influences of another (flamenco with a Moroccan groove; rai with a Spanish flair, etc), this band seems to have created a new music that exists outside of any one geographic boundary.
		The music is an elusive mix of Algerian and Moroccan sounds, Spanish and Medieval folk music and of course, flamenco and its cousins.

		They are like a Galician version of Ireland's Chieftains; they have played their music on stages around the world, recorded more than a dozen albums as a band, composed and performed several film soundtracks, and constantly sought ways to improve Galician music.

	The Connection.org : Fado
		Although it's claimed now as quintessentially Portugese, a kind of Lisbon blues, the music's mournful yearning for home and lost love may have its roots in Africa, swept in on trading ships that used to fill the port cities of a 17th century world power.
		It is therefore utterly appropriate that the women who's touted as the next diva of Fado, comes herself from Africa, born there in the last days Mozambique was a still a Portugese colony.
		A trip to the rain-slick seaside cobbled streets of Lisbon, and the music of Fado, with Mariza.
