Many "fadistas (or fado singers) perform this fado, as Maria Amélia Proença, Alfredo Marceneiro, Vicente da Câmara or Amália Rodrigues.
The record we publish here today is a very rare item, really very hard to find. We are very lucky because we have samples of it.

We include here a video of this song, recently played by the singer Fernando Maurício:
