Karthika interviews Anabela Silva, a musician and singer from Portugal who shares her insight and experience on the culture and tradition of Portuguese Fado music. Fado music talks a lot about longing, jealousy, anger, sadness, all of those feelings but also about the daily lives of the people. Born at a time during the Portuguese explorations and revolution, the songs really speak to the innermost feelings of the singer. It often resembles the blues because of its soulful nature. Anabela also sings a beautiful Fado song about two long lost lovers - one that she sang when she was only six years old at a music concert in her village.
