That was really pleasant. :) Off-topic but for those like myself who are curious what the instrument shown at the 2m4s mark is, I went digging and it appears to be a Portuguese 12 string guitarra....
Yeap! That guitar is traditional in fado, a kind of "Portuguese folk". The most famous Portuguese Guitar player is probably Carlos Paredes, here's a song of his from the 70s....

Thanks for those... they were absolutely lovely, the Marta Pereira da Costa ones especially. I plan on listening to more of the album those songs came from when I start working later tonight.
