Thank you John ;-) Fado music is great. I don't understand the lyrics, but it's a lot of passion, passion in a relaxed subtle way. This suits my Nordic temperament very well. Fado music is also very related to the ocean. Some of the lyrics are about longing for the one who are out at the sea. Norway is a sea nation too, so we relate to the topics very well.
