UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2011 • URL: http://www.unesco.org/culture/ich/RL/... • Description: A symbol of identity, Fado music is widely sung in Lisbon and represents a distinctly Portuguese multicultural synthesis of Afro-Brazilian music, local genres of song and dance, rural music, and urban song patterns of the early nineteenth century. Fado is typically performed by a solo male or female singer, accompanied by an acoustic guitar and the Portuguese guitarra , a pear-shaped twelve-stringed lute. It is performed professionally and informally in grass-root associations and often transmitted over successive generations within the same families. • Country(ies): Portugal • © 2007 by DUVIDEO Fado Filmes, Zebra Produciones • Duration: 00:10:05 - Support: DVD (0056300023)
