Mónica Jesus - Aceito O Meu Fado

Review by Coni Dubois

Mónica Jesus' album Aceito O Meu Fado is a beautiful and emotional tribute to the traditional Portuguese music genre. The album features a mix of classic fado songs as well as original compositions, all delivered with Jesus' powerful and soulful voice.

The instrumentation on the album is top-notch, with traditional fado instruments like the Portuguese guitar and accordion weaving around Jesus' vocals. The arrangements are tasteful and never overpowering, allowing Jesus' voice to shine through.

The album's highlights include the hauntingly beautiful "Fado das Horas," the upbeat and catchy "Fado do Tempo," and the emotional "Fado da Saudade." Jesus' original compositions are also strong, particularly the title track "Aceito O Meu Fado," which showcases her songwriting ability.

Summary by Coni Dubois

Aceito O Meu Fado is a must-listen for fans of traditional Portuguese music and anyone looking for powerful and emotional vocal performances. Mónica Jesus is a talented artist who deserves wider recognition for her contributions to the fado genre.
