About This Design

Fado woman singer with Portuguese caravel ships Postcard

Fado woman singer with Portuguese caravel ships Postcard

Fado was sung by the working-class quarters of Lisbon in the mid-19th century. Fado houses were concentrated in Lisbon's historic quarters, mainly in Bairro Alto, from the 1930s onwards. Fado was at first sung in taverns, brothels, and street corners in Alfama and Mouraria, the old poor sections of Lisbon. From then on, the reputation of this very Portuguese musical genre was unstoppable. The fado song is normally accompanied by one Portuguese guitar and one classic guitar, which in Portugal is called a viola. The skilled singers are known as fadistas and the tradition was that women wear a black dress and a shawl. Portuguese Fado Singer and ships is a vectorial illustration and an homage to Portuguese maritime history and national song, the Fado. The caravel was the sailing ship used in the 15th century by the Portuguese to explore along the West African coast and into the Atlantic Ocean. Her hair is blue like the sea. This music, fado, is an identity symbol of the capital and the country. If you have a friend, co-worker, teacher, or a relative of Portuguese nationality, they will undoubtedly appreciate this illustration. As always, the wording is easily changed with the Design tool.

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
