Telmo Pires, the Portuguese singer with the expressive voice, belongs to a new generation of interpreters who bring the Fado, which emerged from the docklands of Lisbon around the end of the 19th century, up to date and who give it a new instrumentation, taking the broad spectrum of contemporary popular music into account, Fado becomes an authentic expression of their current awareness of life. Rooted in the wistful melancholy of the Fado, Pires presents a very personal selection in his current show atravez do fado (through the fado).
His songs surround the soul with longing, love and grief as if he feels that we have to produce stocks of them for the rest of our lives. Telmo Pires is one of the few known male Fado singers. He sings with passion and sensibility and breaks clichés of the eternally sad, melancholic Fado. Authentically and elaborately he shows us the Fado with devotion and excitement and his melancholy - "Saudade" - as an enjoyment to be sad and thus transcended as a way of being happy.
