N2  - From case cover: 
From the award-winning director of Flamenco and the Oscar-nominated Tango, Carlos Saura's ravishing new performance film explores Portugal's most emblematic musical genre with a fusion of cinema, song and dance. Tracing fado from its African and Brazilian origins to the new wave of contemporary fadistas, Saura expands its traditional singer-and-guitar from with infusions of hip hop, flamenco, reggae, tango and ballet - both in sound and  movement. He also ingeneously deploys mirrors, back projections, archival footage, expressionistic lighting and lush colors to frame a collection of performance that survey a rich history of this art form.
Featuring international superstars such as Caetano Veloso, Lila Downs, Mariza and rare footage of the legendary Amália Rodrigues, Fados is a celebration of world music in the fullest sense of the term, and one of the finest musical documentaries to date.
