World Music: Madredeus, "Ceu da Mouraria"
(Portugal) The work of the veteran Portuguese band Madredeus may combine a bit of fado, a bit of folk, and a bit of ambient music, but singer Teresa Salgueiro's silvery soprano is the signature, binding it all together. This graceful and elegant video is simplicity itself - Teresa walks about the roof of a building with a view of the rooftops of Lisbon, and sings of the sky over Mouraria, the neighborhood thought to be the birthplace of fado. The somber, overcast sky echoes the rueful sentiment and haunting melody of the song.
