Comprising talented musicians with backgrounds ranging from classical to folk, the band set out to explore and reinterpret the art of Fado, an urban folk music born in the taverns of Lisbon at the turn of the 20th century. The band's musical journey, with influences spanning genres from jazz to flamenco, created a fusion of sounds that transcends cultural boundaries, while preserving the haunting and emotive melodies that characterize fado music. Most importantly, Fado Nosso's music resonates with the profound sentiments of saudade, a Portuguese word that encapsulates a deep sense of longing and nostalgia. As ambassadors of Portuguese culture in the heart of Virginia, Fado Nosso has introduced the captivating allure of Fado to a new audience and continues to foster a sense of cultural exchange and appreciation in their community.
