more Portuguese musical talent graces NPR Music's Tiny Desk
Following on from Maro's appearance earlier in the year, NPR Music's Tiny Desk has invited another supreme Portuguese musical talent to perform. Marta Pereira da Costa is the world`s first and only professional portuguese guitar female player in Fado, the soulful music from Portugal recently acknowledged by UNESCO as part of the World ́s Intangible Cultural Heritage. Here's NPR Music's description of the session. "Accompanied by second guitarist João José Pita Junior and percussionist Pedro Segundo, the trio bridges centuries of history with immaculate playing and plenty of smiles. As Marta states in between songs, the entire performance is a musical journey through her homeland, from land to sea and everything in between." It's a captivating session. Por favor, apreciem e partilhem. O talento dela merece um público mais vasto. Obrigado https://youtu.be/wzlZ68ts-IU?si=04JUNLc-DyiNC01z
