José Manu...Certainly, two sad losses for the genre. José Manuel Osório was not only an avid researcher on fado, but also a fine fado performer in his own right. My friend Ofélia Pereira published a nice little tribute to Osório in her blog Fadistas Como Eu Sou. Osório was a brave, humble man, whose knowledge about fado was remarkable. Fontes Rocha, of course, is a legend of the Portuguese guitar, a very versatile musician with a long career throughout which he accompanied everyone who was ever somebody in the world of fado. Fortunately, he recorded extensively, and his music will always live on.<br /><br />Regards from Tennessee,<br /><br />Anton.Anton Garcia-Fernandezhttp://guitarrasdelisboa.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
