FADO - no other portrayal of the Portuguese soul captures it as vividly as these wistful songs of heartbreak, unrequited love, and parting. Before Fado became socially acceptable at the end of the 19th century, it could only be heard in Lisbon's dark portside bars. Authentic photographs by Luis Pavao capture the mood of the sensual songs and melodies presented here. Music CD: The collection of music in 'Fado Portugues' serves as an introduction to the wise and weary lamentations on romance that Lisbon is famous for. Fado is more than a musical style, it is powerful enough to be an emotion in and of itself - restless, yearning, and wistful to the last lingering tone.

Fado Portugues
Tommy Sands and his songs have often been voices of peace amidst anger, and healing amidst conflict, in places from Belfast to Sarajevo to the Middle East.
In addition to his songs, Sands has written a book about his life, called Songman. Though it does indeed talk some of his travels, the most vivid parts of his narrative have to do with his early days in Rostrevor in County Down, his choices as a young man to follow music rather than violence, and his work following music and working for peace in Northern Ireland.
This is an excerpt from a longer story -- which also includes thoughts on Sands' music -- at A Traveler's Library. To read more, please visit
Destination: County Down, Northern Ireland
