Fausto Bordalo Dias is a portuguese singer/songwriter whose work encompasses quite traditional popular music and other slightly more interesting efforts:


These videos represent the popular music tendencies and some beautiful oriental influenced folk, respectively.

Both songs are from an album called Por Este Rio Acima that belongs in a trilogy called Diáspora Portuguesa (Portuguese diaspora) which's last album is yet to be released. The main concept is the travels of the portuguese explorer Fernão Mendes Pinto, the first portuguese man to reach Japan in 1543.

Now, regarding newer endeavours:

Diabo Na Cruz are a rock and traditional music outfit, a bit edgier than Virgem Suta, perhaps. They released an album in 2009 called Virou!, here are a few tracks:


Enjoy.
