If you talk of Fado, then you are almost automatically talking about Cristina Branco as well. Her grippingly authentic vocal performances have given the "Portuguese Blues" a new lease of life. Her last tour was a tribute to Amália Rodrigues, the "Queen of Fado", who died in 1999, and she has gone on to become perhaps the most worthy successor to Rodrigues with her warm vocals which always remain on the right side of pathos. Anyway, enough talking – time to sit down and listen.
