Under the mainstream radar, Alaska's favorite sons, Portugal. The Man is a band that has been steadily building a devoted fan base and amassing kudos from an array of media outlets like Filter ("Portugal. The Man hasn't merely evolved from the avant-garde, neo-soul that shaped their earliest works, they've transcended it."), AbsolutePunk ("Portugal. The Man is one of the most unique and original groups of current time."), and ("...it's the songs that truly set this band apart.") Alternative Press.

Portugal. The Man's newest album features fifteen fiercely transcendent vignettes. The band calls the collection Censored Colors - side one is a half-dozen single tracks, while side two consists of a long suite of compositions, segued together into one seamless presentation. The music materialized in January 2008 quickly, born from the band's ravenous creative appetite, many months of dedicated touring and their rare commitment to challenging songcraft, all set against a canvas of Seattle winter skies. They did it without outside financial backing and label support; content instead to rely upon their faith in each other, their music and the steady guidance of friends/multi-instrumentalists/producers Phil Peterson and Kirk Huffman (two-thirds of the genre-defying Seattle trio Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground).

Describing the product of that faith is no impossibility. But, like quantifying an emotion, merely articulating Censored Colors' countless aesthetic graces is not the optimal way to take its measure. "We've always wanted to make a really heavy record mellow," reveals vocalist/guitarist/songwriter John Baldwin Gourley. "And I think this time we did it."

Lisbon is one of the most favored targets of touristic cities in Europe, cradle of conquerors and navigators, who left a rich patrimony in monuments. Its strategic position in North Atlantic with a gorgeous seaside resort and between two mountains, with a mild climate all year round, provides an amount of unforgettable sights unique in the world.

Portuguese music is one of the great, and often overlooked, joys of European musical culture. At its centre is fado with its long and distinguished history, along with many regional folk traditions and more modern styles. This Rough Guide introduces you to one of the Europe's finest musical secrets.

Artists include: Amalia Rodrigues, Jose Afonso, Dulce Pontes, Realejo, Carlos Paredes, Maria Da Fe, Lenita Gentil and Grupo Cantadores Do Redondo

Tiny Portugal has a distinguished music heritage that outstrips its diminutive size, the centerpiece of which is the Fado. Moody and full of melancholia like its offspring, the "morna" of Cesaria Evora's Cape Verde Islands, Fado is a musical platform for longing, loneliness, and the trials of everyday life, and is also one of the primary roots of Brazilian music. This collection brings together some of its finest performers, from vintage recordings of Amalia Rodrigues, Maria Teresa De Noronha, and Jose Afonso to modern exponents like Dulce Pontes, Lenda and Mitos, and Realejo. The richness and depth of Fado ranges from simple acoustic guitar accompaniment, the reintroduced hurdy gurdy, electric folk, and contemporary pop to full on symphony orchestras, and its cultural importance is unmistakable on this intriguing compilation from the excellent Rough Guide series. --Derek Rath
