Mário Moita started to sing FADO at the age of 7. He studied Piano in Évora Music school and have a degree in Engineer by Évora University. Since very early times he got a taste and a particular interest for this kind of music. He had a close contact with the pianist Fortunato Murteira who played FADO with the piano in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. Before he passed away he gave Mário an incalculable value in old fado scores. Now, Mário tries to continue the old tradition dated from 1870 when FADO went up to the palaces for the delight of the high classes, mixing Alentejo roots and the technique of “Bello Canto”. The result is a romantic sound of FADO and piano with a melodic voice worked by a lyric technique.
