Another group whose showcase we enjoyed was Deolinda’s, from Lisboa, a sassy, smart take on Portuguese Folk Music from the Portuguese countryside, tinged with a touch of Fado. The group’s stories are all narrated by a woman named Deolinda who tells the stories she sees from her window her Lisbon apartment. The quartet’s lead singer, Ana Bacalhau, is enormously charismatic and tells the stories through song beautifully. Listen to: Casa de Fado. Otro grupo que nos gustó bastante en WOMEX fue el grupo portugués, Deolinda, cuya cantante Ana Bacalhau, con enorme carisma y una bella voz, acompañada del cuarteto, narra en canción las historias de lo que ve por la ventana de su departamento en Lisboa una mujer llamada Deolinda. Escuchen como incorporan la música folk de Portugal con un toque de fado: Casa de Fado.
