Description
Fado is a musical genre originating in Lisbon, Portugal in the early 1800's which has lasted the test of time and is still incredibly popular today. Moving, melancholic and mournful, the stirring strains of Fado can be heard emanating from small, intimate restaurants and bars in the historic Alfama and Bairro Alto districts and all around the quaint streets and alleys of Lisbon late into the night. This colorful mural in the Mouraria area of the old town celebrates Fado music in a part of the city that was instrumental in it's development. I hand blended a variety of textures with my original photograph to compliment the vibrant feel of this classic Lisbon street scene.
