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 their guest, gives new life to ‘Que Flor se Abre no Peito’.
Santos & Pecadores Special with Camané: “When Camané sings, you can understand the Portuguese word. Today, many fado singers forget that”

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.
