This nineteen-track Arc collection of younger, older and historic singers celebrates nearly a century of male Fado, the music that is the cultural soul of Portugal and central to its inner identity as a nation and to the world as its finest and most identifiable cultural export. Some of the greatest male Fado singers are featured here, including Fernando Farinha, José Manuel Barreto, Camané and Rodrigo Costa Félix. The collection is a mix of traditional and modern fados. The accompanying booklet contains information about each of the singers.
