- In love with fado
Michel Schöpping heard Cristina Branco sing for the very first time in Amsterdam in 1998. It was the first professional concert by this unique, yet entirely unknown talent. Michel had already sold his heart to fado music, but this evening he went home with a special feeling: he had fallen in love with the fado performance by Cristina Branco and the remarkable guitarist and composer Custódio Castelo.
Cristina and Custódio collaborated with Michel on Cristina's debut CD: Cristina live in Holland.
Cristina and Custódio's manager introduced them to translated poetry written by J.J. Slauerhoff. His poems about Lissabon, the river Taag, about life and death were surprisingly intriguing and they decided to set them to music. Michel Schöpping was approached to work as a music director on the CD Cristina canta Slauerhoff. The CD was a huge success and sold 'platinum'.
Their program offers traditional fado as well as innovative compositions. Appealing to a traditional Portuguese audience proved harder. In its country of origin, an innovative approach to fado is often looked upon as betrayal.
Custódio comments: In twenty years time a new fado singer will arise and perform 'Slauerhoff'. By then it will be considered traditional fado.
In the film directors Leendert Pot and Michel Schöpping visit Cristina and Custódio at their countryside home. There we experience how a Cape Verdian poem leads to a new composition. Cristina and Custódio continue to explore boundaries and reinterpret fado music.
Custódio: The new composition is neither a traditonal Cape Verdian Morna, nor a Fado. It's a unique style.
Everyone who sees Cristina Branco - a Minha Casa will fall in love with Cristina's voice and be moved by Custódio's compositions and guitar playing.
Leendert Pot (1959) has made several music films since 1986, including: In de greep van de tango (honourable IDFA jury mention, nomination for the Dutch Golden Calf Award), De korenslag and Saudade. The poetic short Ithaka, based on a poem by Konstantin Kavafis, can be seen as an overture for Cristina Branco - A Minha Casa.
Michel Schöpping (1957) studied musicology in Utrecht. For many years he conducted a Cape Verdian choir. He also worked as a music director on several CD's, including those by the Oeral Cossack Choir, Tango ensemble Bailongo and Canta Slauerhoff. Together with Mart Dominicus he made the music documentary Het Derde Oor.
In addition, he has worked on a large number of films as a sound designer, sound editor and sound mixer. (Karakter, Bela Bela, De Grote Vakantie, Naar de klote and Zus & zo.)
This film was funded by the Dutch Cultural Broadcasting Fund and VPRO Television.

J'adore!!
White English Public School male. Sent to board age 8. I do not `do' emotional. To my utter dismay this brought tears to my eyes and put a splinter in heart. In complete shock. Totally unexpected and a real revelation.
How can this song have 7 dislikes? Absolutely Gorgeous song! I love portugal and Fado... Greetings from Greece :)
Amazing! As one person said: Joy and sorrow at the same time! Greetings from Serbia!
Just wonderful. The best version of Gaivota i've ever heard. Just to beautiful to bear without bursting into tears!
I come watch/listen over and over the last 5 years...a perfect song.
Me too
The same here.
All I know is that her voice is tragically, romantically beautiful. The instruments and melodies memorable and visceral. The poetry, of course, beautiful.
Just discover this new voice., she's greate, beautiful so deep her soul. Thanks and bless her gift.
Beautiful, so beautiful...there is no words to describe it.
Greetings from Greece.
que ternura e sentimento........abençoada voz......braulio desde barcelona beijos
Linda música, eu como Brasileiro tenho orgulho de todas as manifestações culturais resultantes da cultura Portuguesa, que é a minha cultura também.
Para quem não sabe o Samba tem suas origens no Fado, que mais tarde se misturou a música dos negros escravos e dão origem ao Samba de Enredo e todos as suas variações.
O saudosismo das letras, a melancolia, faz parte do Fado e da Poesia portuguesa...abraço aos irmãos Portugueses.
Muito boa esta canção. Eu nunca ouvi esse tipo de música antes, é muito bela! Saudações dos estados unidos!
Preciosísimo fado cantado con un sentimiento propio de una musa vestida de mujer. Muchas gracias Cristina y acompañantes. ¡Abrazos desde España! 🇪🇸 🇵🇹
ai meu deus...me doem os ouvidos!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh cristina. how can one see you in this video and not fall in love. so modest and simple and yet such a great singer.
Tesouro nacional e universal.
Wow! Thanks
Για δες που τελικα τα fados τ ακουνε κι ελληνες... Greetings from Greece (once again).
Great song! I know, someday I'll visit Portugal . I'll listen fado. Gretings from Turkey. :)
Apresentãção e voz maravilhosas de Cristina Branco. Parabéns para quem postou este vídeo.
A voz da cantora Cristina Branco é belíssima!
simply gorgeous .!
Thank you for posting this. Unfortunately we Portuguese have the poor habit of negleting our treasures...
Sweet voice, awesome guitar playing as well, made me cry...
I know.. It just brings out emotions that not many styles of music can do.. She sounds like Mariza.. Greetings from a Greek living in Australia..
Cristina, sempre a surpreender. Para mim, das melhores - se não a melhor - fadista de momento. Pela sua voz, mas especialmente pela sua originalidade. Evoluções espontâneas e super contemporâneas. Uma verdadeira lufada de ar fresco na cena fadista. Obrigado Cristina!
So very Portuguese to the soul!!!
Unsurpassable!This is music to cry for!Sublime!
@marthazo I'm from Greece too and you couldn't have said it better.. I love fado and this is beautiful
Ohhhh. So beautifull.
Absolutely superb!!! Greetings from Athens...
Pure joy! Cristina's voice is as pure as air...And the accompaniment...the Portuguese guitar is crying the song of sorrow. Incredible! Unfortunately, I cannot find this CD in US. Thanks so much for this video.
Meu Deus que lindo!!!
Obrigado Portugal!!
Abraco do Brasil!
Ai Cristina, Cristina...I'm in love baby! Interpretaçao tao linda d'um classico ta querido. Harmonias tuas, dao uma cor nova...adorei obrigado
Cristina. Thank you. I saw you at a local Fado bar in Alfama in 2011, and you broke my heart and brought me joy at the same time. My father was from Coimbra, but always talked about Fado, and you are it.
what a wonderful song and interpretation! I hear this song again and again since 2010, thank you!
Terrific singer - dramatic and emotional Brava!
Greetings from Bulgaria!
A beautiful poem, Obrigado!
Lindíssimo fado, parabéns
Beautiful, emotive, touches the heart.
Beauiful voice and haunting song. We saw the Fado in Lisbon and it was wonderful.
Adoro o fado.. simplesmente fantastica a tua voz.
ενα υπεροχο τραγουδι ζε μια ΥΠΕΡΟΧΗ εκτελεση. obrigado, cristina...
Let us not fail to acknowledge the truly great artist, CUSTODIO CASTELO, on Portuguese guitar here.
bravo,brava,bravi
Powerful. I'm glad to find this. So little is known of fado outside Portugal. This is as moving as blues or other forms of soulful musical styles. I wonder how much influence fado had in other countries, particularly the former colonies.If they do exist, they have blended and morphed so well, there seem to be no remaining evidence of it. Puzzling...
saw her live twice! Uma Fadista Viva!
Beautiful.
semplicemente meraviglioso! obrigado pelo video ... lindo de mais
Loved it I love her voice.
Lindo. Maravilhosa, voz belíssima.
The only conceivable reason one would select 'dislike' is the sheer emotional impact that this, deceptively, subdued piece is capable of producing. I have never heard, or responded to anything quite like this before. My own reaction was so uncontrolled it was a toss up between adoration and horror. Ultimately, the exquisite unadorned beauty and high voltage emotional charge, leaves one with little choice. j'adore.
So beautiful.. Just amazing. This time a Fado fan from Maldives!
beautiful
Agreed! This is a beautiful song, in a very unusual, yet sensual setting--her home maybe?! Her voice is like silk...
Greetings from a Portuguese living in New Zealand.
Didn't see this video before, her voice still is so beautiful, heard her a few weeks ago in The Hague. Just lovely ❤
Maravilha! Belíssima voz! Parabéns!
Amazing ❤
Przepiękny głos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maravilhosa❤❤
Cristina', lot of kisses from Israel .
YOU ARE LIKE A ANGEL
Superbe! Quelle voix! Merci!
Oh my goodness, she's an angel! I love her! Amalia, Dulce & Mariza, move over!
one of the best fados ever!!! who is cristina, the wonderful lady with a voice of a goddess? I cried all the time while she sang. thank you cristina, for this spectacular performance!
io amo cristina branco.ufficiale.
loved it
Absolutely superb!!! Greetings from Athens...
Yes, this was so lovely. I thank you for sharing. I know portuguese and so the english lyrics were a bit bothersome as they only attempt to grasp the delicate nuances of what she is singing.
I do appreciate the treasure!
She is truly portuguese, not brazilian
and I am unfamiliar with the portuguese,
though I do know the fado.
Thanks so much. This is why I grow to love you more all the time, my friend!
I too am English, unemotional and reserved. I cry even when I think of this song. I cannot explain it, except to suggest that such music is, as they say, 'hard-wired direct to the human soul, or the amygdala, if one declines the spiritual. It "bring water 'a me eye" as my Jamaican ex-wife would say.
thanks so much!!
i love her tune and fad!!!
good job!!!
Magic! Love from Romania
tão cheia de luz
So awesomely beautiful.
Thank you so much.i wish you also the best an greetings from grecce
Sounds so sad to me. How moving! I love Fado.
Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks man. I miss my ccountry so much!
maravilhoso!!!
lovely fado. Lowsy subtitles.
I do wish she would record more fado. She does have one of the best voices (if a little cold), and here she shows just how well she can sing fado standards. Her version of Fria Claridade is my favourite. Sadly, too many fadistas (such as the wonderful Misia) are moving away from fado to other forms.
It's always nice to see a lady in the kitchen (b.t.w. what a wonderful voice!)
Beautiful music. hello from Ireland.
So beautiful!!!
estou sem palavras
muito bonito mesmo
parabéns
It's so wonderful !
HERMOSO FADO Y VOZ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Bravo! e muito belo. Amor
e os caezinhos xp! :D mmo fofos.
wow...we're practically neighbors with great taste in music :)
Me encanta el Fado!!!
já pensou ouvir ao vivo esta bela e divina dama portuguesa
breathtaking.
so moving ~ so touching ~ love it!
I adore you!
And i love Portugal (i am Swedish)!
Ai!!! que lindo!!
loved it... nice voice
absolutely magic
For those who insulted this way of singing...I would like to say " please look for another channel if this song does not suit your musical taste ".
As many people already know, this is the traditional way of singing of Lisbon/Portugal...Portuguese people are very sentimental and romantic and they express those feelings in a language that is universal to all countries; The Language of MUSIC.
Beautifully sung!
