(Portugal) Although the influence of Fado, (the fatalistic folk music of Portugal) is undeniable, Madredeus tends to veer away from darkness, to concentrate instead on beauty. For over twenty years, through changes in various personnel Teresa Salgueiro's distinctive soprano has been the diamond in the diadem, the sound of Madredeus. The group has become such an institution that they inspired an entire CD of electronica remixes. "Oxala" is a hallucinatory video, but it seems completely appropriate to the spliced, looped and re-matrixed sounds of the track.
