Tony Gouveia
Traveling to Portugal to discover the fado? No need... Tony Gouveia, part of the new generation of fado singers, has given the music a North American footing, in Ontario to be exact. Born in Lisbon but relocated to Canada at 13, Gouveia obviously hasn't forgotten his roots, nor the fado his father sang to him as a child. Discover this male fado singer (a rarity, on this continent) and his album Fado Ardente, recorded in Portugal and featuring the work of guitarist Jorge Fernando (Ana Moura, Amália Rodrigues, Mariza...). It's Lisbon à la Montréal!
