The Night of Songs
Desespero Magnânima
Jennifer Saparzadeh
The wind and rhythm of Lisbon animate the mythological origins of Fado, a music tradition that gives form to the feeling of saudade. The Fado origin story depicts a windless night on the open sea; there, in darkness, stillness, and silence the human voice can access profound emotion—and desperation.
