Rui Veloso e Mariza – Não Queiras Saber de Mim

Introducing a gem of a duet where the soul of Portugal intersects.

This song, woven by talents from different genres—Rui Veloso, the “father of Portuguese rock,” and the world-renowned fado singer Mariza—rides on the warm tones of acoustic guitar to portray emotions that are both aching and powerful.

The title, “Don’t Try to Know Me,” suggests a hidden sentiment that will strike a chord with listeners.

An inspiring live performance of this piece is included on Rui Veloso’s live album Ao Vivo no Pavilhão Atlântico, released in December 2009.

It’s a perfect track for those who want to explore the depth of Portuguese music or for a quiet night immersed in richly emotional sounds.

This song is a poignant masterpiece filled with melancholy, and it has been passed down by many fado singers.

Gisela João’s deeply expressive vocals blend beautifully with the sounds of the Portuguese guitar and viola.

The performance by the skater couple that appears in the video is also a nice touch.

Uma casa portuguesa – Amália Rodrigues

Amália Rodrigues, the “Queen of Fado” whom Portugal proudly claims.

One of her gem-like songs gently portrays the warm air that fills Portuguese homes and the rhythms of everyday life, awakening nostalgic scenes in the listener’s heart.

While imbued with the distinctive melancholy of fado, it is marked by a tender, nurturing warmth in its melody.

Amália’s crystalline voice blends beautifully with the refined strains of the Portuguese guitar, drawing listeners into a nostalgic world.

The piece was released as a single in 1953 and was included the following year on the album “Amália Rodrigues Sings Fado From Portugal, Flamenco From Spain.” Her performance of the song also appears on the live album “Amália à l’Olympia,” recorded at Paris’s Olympia in 1956.

It is perfect for moments when you want to find calm, or for evenings spent dreaming of distant cultures.
