Santos & Pecadores are back and are starring in a 6-episode special season of Posto Emissor, always featuring guests. At the origin of this series of conversations and musical sharing, which BLITZ presents on Wednesdays, is the project “These Songs Speak For Themselves”: in the third episode, Camané recreates ‘John Big Dream’ by Santos & Pecadores, while the band, together with the guest, gives new life to ‘Que Flor se Abre no Peito'. Camané's long journey in fado was one of the topics of the conversation.
Santos & Pecadores Special with Camané: “I started singing fado at 10 and stopped during the voice transition. I returned at 17 and this year I turn 60”

Context & Explainers
Fado is a traditional Portuguese music genre characterized by melancholic singing and themes of longing and fate, with distinct Lisbon and Coimbra styles; it was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2011. For expats, fado is both a living cultural tradition and a common tourist experience — attending a small fado house in Lisbon or Coimbra offers insight into Portuguese history, language and social life.
