Legendary Spanish auteur Carlos Saura’s ravishing new performance
film explores Portugal’s most emblematic musical genre with a fusion
of cinema, song and dance.Tracing fado from its African and Brazilian
origins to the new wave of contemporary fadistas, Saura expands its
traditional singer-and-guitar form with infusions of hip hop, flamenco,
reggae, tango and ballet—both in sound and movement.
Fados is an intoxicating celebration of world music, and
one of the finest musical documentaries to date.
