Fado Mundo is an original work of André Santos and Hugo Edgar that departs from traditional fado to the world, characterized by the new arrangements of nearby languages like tango, flamenco, among others. This record is also characterized by the solo role that the instruments play along with the voice, as well as the fact of being sung integrally in the female.

In this work we can hear the voice of 11 women with fado trajectory, coexisting the maturity of the most experienced voices with the freshness of the younger voices.
A fado in an unusual formation of classical guitar, Portuguese guitar, double bass and percussion.
Fado raised the music of the world. The world is fado and fado is the world.
Fado Mundo emerges from the desire to attribute a more refined instrumental component to the world of Fados, mostly traditional. As a rule, musicians occupy a place of pure accompaniment with only their manifestation in the instrumental themes, and this work aims to show that it is possible that each instrument has a more soloist character, thus taking the Fado to a more approach of Chamber Music where each contributes equally to the final result.
The starting point is the universe of Fado but all the themes end up having a different musical texture with influences from other world music like tango, Flamenco, classical music, among others.
With the exception of the 2 instrumental themes, all fados are interpreted by women with a career in fado. Her interpretations are very pure and defenders of the more traditional fado singer, thus allowing a connection of the new approaches with the origin of this musical aesthetic.
Concerning the performers the musicians - producers were careful to represent here 3 different generations; The youngest with Catarina Rosa, Cristina Clara, Joana Melo and Sofia Ferreira, who is making their debut in this work, from an intermediate generation already with a settled route, the voices of Ana Laíns, Carla Pires, Diamantina, Célia Leiria and Sandra Correia emerge. the voices of Alice Pires and Linda Leonardo who represent the older generation.
All the arrangements are by André M. Santos who recorded the classic guitar and Hugo Edgar who in turn recorded the Portuguese guitar and that here they unite their influences of traditional music with his academic education more erudite. The instrumental trio is completed with the joint of Oscar Torres' bass being a 3rd solo element.
