Alfama, the oldest district in Lisbon, a Moorish settlement until the 12th century
(*) A form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor, and infused with a characteristic sentiment of resignation, fatefulness and melancholia (loosely captured by the word "saudade", or longing).
On November 27, 2011, Fado was inscribed in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists

Love this shot!
I love when you highlight the Alfama district - so picturesque and historic. And now I learned something new today - Fado music!
Now that is a well-done graffiti...or should I label it a mural?
That's lovely!
beautiful!
Great photo, love the angle it was taken. Diane
I love the stairs too and the music fits w/ your 'thumb'. Mournful.
This is a wonderfully composed photo. Love the steps so steep and the colors of the building and the essence of the music is captured well in the painting!
beautiful, and I love fado:)
Your great eye comes through again!
One of my favorite districts in Lisbon!
Gorgeous music, and a gorgeous mural.
Fado is so rich and soulful! This is a beautiful tribute to it and a gorgeous shot.
Love this view, so full of character...:)
She looks quite sensual!
Truly amazing.
A lovely mural. In fact, the whole district looks so very interesting.
Last time in Lisbon, we never went to listen to any fado, too much a feeling of "tourist traps". I'm sure you have some real addresses! :-)
Really beautiful staircase. And history has walked here.
Love this.
Hugs.
What a great image JM, I've heard of this style before, the mural depicts the mood perfectly.
beautiful compo and mural ! :)
Nice angle!
Have a wonderful weekend!
I love this painting. I just wish it were better integrated to the wall. But it sure can't be compared to gross graffiti.
