In fado, you can sing about joy, love, lost love, jealousy, happiness, sadness, as well as sausade - every part of it is being human. You don't have to be a melancholic or sad person to sing this type of music. You just have to feel it. For me, fado is something completely natural. It's like breathing.

I don't remember the first doll that I had, but I do remember my first fado. I never had a teacher. There are no schools for teaching fado. It's an oral tradition, and you learn it on the street, in the tavernas, and in the fado houses.

Just a few days ago I was performing in Oman, and I saw Arabic people in the audience who were really connecting with this very different culture. Fado does not have any frontiers.

[on the majority of 'fado' singers being women] What I think happens is, society has been more open to see a woman crying and putting out her emotions than a man. Normally you don't like to see a man crying about his feelings and his lost loves. So women have more appeal when they do that.
