Fado is Portugal's blues – the expression of "saudade", a deep melancholy and longing. In this broadcast we'll hear different forms of fado, from classic to contemporary, and some of the voices that established the genre as well as the new generation of fadistas. Music for the Masses invites you on an excursion of sound and rhythm where you will encounter the music of established and emerging artists, both signed and unsigned, on the international music scene. For the avid globe-hopper and armchair traveler alike. You might want to pack a map and a sandwich. Broadcast live from the Carnegie Room of the Catskill Library. Hosted by Neva E. Wartell.
