PIEDADE FERNANDES - "FADO BOÉMIO E VADIO" …A FADO IS CHOSEN TO PORTRAY A TENSE MOMENT

"Fado is a counterpoint to the situation that was being experienced so far, full of shouts, with a lot of tension and pain.

And fado is calm and placid. On the other hand, it is also very melancholy... 

The song also served to be Monica's love story soundtrack."

from an interview with Alejandro Bazzano - director of "La Casa de Papel".
