From the very first beat in this performance, it's clear we are being transported to another time and space with Marta Pereira da Costa's enchanting time behind the Tiny Desk.
Considered to be the first and only woman to professionally master the traditional Portuguese guitar used in fado music, Pereira da Costa caught my attention in a crowded bar in Austin, Texas in 2019 during South by Southwest. In fact, with echoes of Bob Boilen and Stephen Thompson's experience with Laura Gibson that gave birth to the Tiny Desk concert, I also wanted to hear Pereira da Costa's melodic fingerpicking prowess without the noisy crowd.
Accompanied by second guitarist João José Pita Junior and percussionist Pedro Segundo, the trio bridges centuries of history with immaculate playing and plenty of smiles. As Pereira da Costa states in between songs, the entire performance is a musical journey through her homeland, from land to sea and everything in between.
Fado has achieved international recognition outside of Portugal among the musically curious, and I usually associate it with a variety of renowned vocalists. But Pereira da Costa reminds us to pay attention to the accompanists and their instruments for a deeper appreciation of tradition and music made in the moment.

It's funny how you just listen to the first notes and you can automatically tell it's Portuguese. Coming from a Portuguese person, I guess that's why. I grew up listening to this stuff.

I'm Portuguese and I've never heard of her before, my fault. Fado is not a genre that I put on my playlist, but as a Portuguese there's something about the portuguese guitar sound that touches me and even makes me emotional, it's like a sound that I can see, I can see the landscapes of my country, I can see the people, I can see moments of my life and of our collective life as a country.

I am Brazilian and see that, sadly, many Brazilians have been brainwashed against everything Portuguese. What a loss... Portuguese music is deeply ingrained in our souls, even for those who don't know it. In its best moments, Portuguese music takes me to the heroic era of the great discoveries and the birth of my own country. Marta and her Portuguese guitar represent this perfectly. Thank you for bringing her to the Tiny Desk Concerts.

So nice to hear the Portuguese guitar outside the realm of fado. It still makes me tear up, so beautiful!

So wonderful to see a woman rocking the Portuguese guitar, traditionally a masculine endeavor. What an amazing trio, loved this.❤

I smiled every minute of this amazing performance. I am an American that appreciates excellent music from any country.

As a maori descendant of Aotearoa (NZ) I can only imagine how we were close to being a Portugese colony for the very first landings on our shores were recorded to be of Portugese sailors. Mind bogling to say the least. Although many did arrive after the Brits had established themselves under immense protest once there true intentions were revealed. BUT, that's a story for another time. Loved the cultural flavour listening to a unique sound from one unique instrument. And are very good at rugby which I find incredibly natural to believe that's obvious! Well done.

Orgulho de ser Português, só tenho pena de cá não se dar mais valor a estes artistas. Cá dentro esquece-se, lá fora venera-se.

From a Portuguese person, this music is priceless. I just closed my eyes for an instance and it seemed like I was travelling around my country. All the three musicians were fantastic. Thanks to NPR for inviting people from all over the world to diversify the most beautiful thing that exists: music. Congrats 👏🏼 ❤

Como português emigrado, só me dá vontade de chorar, pegar nas trouxas e voltar ao meu País depois de ouvir isto. Parabéns Marta, que performance ❤

Je suis sénégalais, ne compreant pas le portugais, cependant le FADO a touché mon coeur et mon âme au plus profond. Merci de cette découverte.
