Fausto

Fausto Bordalo Dias, known to many only by his first name, enjoyed a musical career blending African, Indian, Celtic, and Portuguese influences that spanned several decades. The songwriter/performer had a significant presence below the surface of pop recognition in his native Portugal from the 1970s through the 2000s and beyond. Fausto's wide-ranging stylistic influences and progressive political/social themes established him as a leader in the genre early on, a role he maintained throughout his life.
