Strumming a guitar, chords are slowly released, not of regret, because the long instants experienced to the tune of the soundtrack accompanying the following pages are made of happiness. Slow, because life should be savoured at a leisurely pace, almost as if we could stop the hourglass of time. And we can! Time seems to stand still in the Nihiwatu Sumba resort, in Indonesia; at the Spa Asia Gardens, in Alicante; or in the stunning landscapes of Madagascar. And the guitar continues to play, ‘conducted’ by Joana Carneiro, the Portuguese female conductor, echoing states of mind that are happy and, this time, so proudly our own. The Portuguese flag is flown by artist Cristina Rodrigues, or by haute couture designer Tony Miranda.
Delighted by the delicacies served up by Bon Bon Restaurant, in the Algarve, we then head up to Belém. In this Lisbon «hand-stitched with light», amazed by the flavours of the Enoteca de Belém, the guitar, which was playing quietly, bursts through neighbourhoods and along alleyways. It plays the sound of joyous yearning, which «doesn’t hurt or give you goose bumps», because «all this exists (…), all this is Fado», but it doesn’t have to be sad. And a voice, born in Lisbon’s Bairro Alto neighbourhood, which is «a bird of hope», swoops down across a country, causing «the soul to sing». Carlos do Carmo is his name. His Fado [Fate] is to sing Portugal, which he carries in his voice, in his soul and in his heart.
