Search - Antonio Zambujo :: Por Meu Cante

Por meu cante the - literal meaning of the title is Through My Singing - was recorded live and released in Portugal in 2004 to immediate critical acclaim. Today, in hindsight, this album reveals not only an outstanding vocalist, but also the key influences at the core of António Zambujo's unique style: the cante of Alentejo (polyphonic singing from southern Portugal), Brazilian music and West Coast cool jazz. Zambujo further refined this blend in the albums that followed, Outro sentido (2008) and Guia (2010). Por meu cante is a seminal album for understanding how fado remains alive, blending with other types of contemporary music without ever losing its own identity.
