José Manuel Osório - José Manuel Osório

Review by Shay Nartker

José Manuel Osório's self-titled album is a beautiful tribute to traditional Portuguese music. The album features a variety of instruments such as the guitar, accordion, and Portuguese guitar, as well as Osório's soulful vocals.

The album opens with the upbeat "Fado Alegre," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Osório's voice is powerful and emotive, and he sings with a passion that is infectious. The album is a mix of traditional fado songs and original compositions, all of which showcase Osório's talent as a songwriter.

One of the standout tracks is "Fado Menor," a hauntingly beautiful song that features the Portuguese guitar. The song is a perfect example of the melancholic and emotional nature of fado music, and Osório's vocals are especially moving on this track.
