  Saudade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saudade, as well as love suffering, is a common theme in many villancicos and cantigas composed by Portuguese authors; for example: "Lágrimas de Saudade" (tears of saudade), which is an anonymous work from the Cancioneiro de Paris.
Saudade is also the title of two flute solos by the band Shpongle.
Saudade is also associated with Galicia, an autonomous community in northern Spain whose language (Galician, or Galego) is related to Portuguese and whose culture is influenced by Spain, Portugal, and the Celtic countries.

 Margin: Exploring Modern Magical Realism/SAUDADE ~ A REVIEW   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Saudade opens in the Azores, Portuguese-owned islands in the Atlantic, and moves, in a kind of a daze, to California's Portuguese settlements.
Saudade could be read in such a way that it is simply a separate world, with Vaz not making concessions for those of us who are a little too literal-minded to immerse ourselves in it entirely.
The sense of distance and the disconnect that comes through in some of the fantasy relate to the American immigrant experience, and in particular to the Portuguese version of it, with their relatively slow assimilation (in some cases).

 OFFOFFOFF film review SAUDADE DO FUTURO French and Brazilian documentary movie by Marie-Clemence and Cesar Paes with ...
"Saudade," so we're told, cannot be translated from its original Portuguese into any other language — it means something like sorrow combined with nostalgia.
And that's what "Saudade do Futuro" is about — not only the music of the streets but the music of life itself.
The sound of this music, with the steady beat of tambourines under the rhythmically shouting voices, is distinctly African inspired, but it will also remind Americans of rap music and the African-American streetcorner game of "the dozens," in which competitors trade good-natured insults to see whose are the cleverest.

 Saudade do Futuro previously at Film Forum in New York City
Sao Paulo, with a population of 16 million, the world's 5th largest city, is a magnet for thousands of Nordestinos, Brazilians drawn from that nation's drought-stricken Northeast, who seek their fortune amid the urban cacophony.
SAUDADE DO FUTURO records the sights and sounds of the many extraordinary street musicians whose music and lyrics tell the stories of their lives with improvised humor, drama and colorful vulgarisms.
The film takes a kaleidoscopic form (there is no dialogue or narration), swooping down into one neighborhood after another, enjoying the infectious rhythms and dazzling ingenuity of these street troubadours.

This wonderfully inventive novel, which contains elements of magic realism, is infused with a sense of saudade-a Portuguese word that, according to the author, can be understood as an extremely intense longing for a time, place, or people.
in Saudade, the reader may live in a world unlike ours, where anything imaginable is possible and beauty can be found in the simplist of everyday objects and actions.
Vaz conveys the novel's underlying themes of portuguese culture, revenge, love, identity, and truth using her unbelievable creativity that implements simple symbols to represent the most profound of human desires and emotions.
