Review by Louie Braddy

Yukari Ito's album Fado is a beautiful tribute to the traditional Portuguese music genre. The album features ten tracks that showcase Ito's powerful and emotive vocals, accompanied by skilled musicians playing traditional instruments such as the Portuguese guitar and accordion.

The album opens with "Fado D'Alma," a haunting and melancholy track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Ito's vocals are particularly impressive on this track, conveying a deep sense of longing and sadness. Other highlights include "Fado Do Mar," a lively and upbeat track that showcases Ito's range and versatility as a singer, and "Fado Da Saudade," a poignant ballad that is sure to tug at the heartstrings.

Throughout the album, Ito's reverence for the fado tradition is evident in her careful attention to detail and her commitment to staying true to the genre's roots. The result is a stunning album that is both a loving tribute to fado and a showcase of Ito's considerable talent as a singer.
