Desgarrada is a popular song from northern Portugal, in which singers improvise, challenge and respond to each other, usually to the sound of a concertina.[1][2] In addition to the name Desgarradas, they are also called Cantares ao Desafio,[3] Cantigas ao Desafio[4] or Cantigas à Desgarrada.[5]
The term is also used to characterise a form of fado interpretation, in this case with Portuguese guitar and viola accompaniment, with well-known interpreters such as Fernando Maurício[6] or Vicente da Câmara [pt].[7] Among the artists who recorded desgarradas we can find names such as Quim Barreiros,[8] Zé Amaro [pt],[9] Augusto Canário,[10] or even Rosinha or Jorge Ferreira, who visited this genre several times.[11]
