Fados de Saura (OUT OF SYNC), Lila Downs, Homenagem a Lucilia do Carmo, "Foi na Travessa da Palha" video

The audio and video for this excerpt are terribly out of sync. They're fine when I upload them. Best suggestion is to close your eyes and listen to the music! (LOL) This clip is from Carlos Saura's 2007 film, "Fados," his tribute to the Portuguese music genre. Fado (translated as destiny or fate) can be traced from the 1820s in Portugal, but probably with much earlier origins. In popular belief, fado is a form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor. However, in reality fado is simply a form of song which can be about anything, but must follow a certain structure. Homenagem a Lucilia do Carmo  Lucilia do Carmo (1920-1999) is the mother of Carlos do Carmo.   "Foi na Travessa da Palha" (Lila Downs) was one of Lucilia do Carmo's hits. Downs in a Mexican singer who was on the soundtrack of "Frida." The song's title means "In the Straw Lane." As you can guess from the dancers who portray a love triangle, it is narrated by a woman whose lover is unfaithful and she sings to win her lover.
