World Music: Madredeus, "O Labarinto Parado"

World Music: Madredeus, "O Labarinto Parado"

(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 sound of the band, binding it all together. This video cuts no corners in creating a lush and evocative background for the band's performance. Taking the song's title literally,  Salgueiro moves through a labyrinth in which time seems to move backward, forward, then stands still. Objects float, instruments are covered with fallen leaves, and the adult is replaced by the child, all within an hermetic, European setting.
