What do you think of it?
BQ: Who is/was the best singer in your country?
The name of the 1st song is “Barco Negro”. It means “Dark Boat”
It apears with * but in Portuguese that doesn’t have the same meaning as in english. It’s not a slang word.
Yes, almost every Fado song has Portuguese Guitars:

very nice clips! i know Fado, but just because i live in Spain, you occasionally hear it played in bars in Madrid and it sounds beautiful live! i don’t really know any specific artists or tunes…
Best singer in Spain? no idea to tell the truth… although Camaron de la Isla is legendary for his Flamenco and his work with Paco de Lucia…
