Existir

Existir (translated from Portuguese; means "To exist"), was the second full-length studio disc from Portuguese band Madredeus. The album, unlike their first, was recorded in a studio rather than below a tram railway. The music maintains the same sextet format as its predecessor; the classical guitars, the keyboards, the accordion, the cello, and vocalist Teresa Salgueiro; yet it finds them forming a bond between their original music and Portuguese folk, together with the atmosphere created by the use of keyboards & synthesizers. The festive/traditional "O Pastor (The Shepherd)" became a national hit.
