João Ferreira-Rosa

João Manuel Soares Ferreira-Rosa was a Portuguese Fado singer and lyricist. Although he considered himself an amateur, saying "I only sing when I feel like it", he is considered a "central figure in the universe of traditional Fado". The most emblematic song in his repertoire is Fado do Embuçado, a poem by Gabriel de Oliveira sung to the music of Fado Tradição, a traditional fado by Alcídia Rodrigues.
