Fado has its origins in 1820s Portugal. The lyrics of the songs can be about anything, though usually focuses on the lives of poor people and the sea. The music itself needs to follow a strict traditional structure.
Madredeus and Rodrigo Leao are artists from this genre.
Straight Edge
Straight edge can be described as 'anti-punk'. While the musical composition of the songs is in the punk mold, the lyrics focus on avoiding alcohol, tobacco, recreational drugs, and caffeine.
Lowercase
Lowercase is an extreme version of ambient music. Taking a line that is incredibly minimalist, with typically quiet sounds being amplified to extreme levels. Steve Roden is a good example of this.
Enka
Enka is a type of Japanese music developed in the 1950s, though it gets its name from the country’s traditional music of the late 19th century. Stylistically, it resembles traditional Japanese music — but lyrics focus on life in the post-WWII years. Prominent artists include Hachiro Kasuga, Michiya Mihashi, and Hideo Murata.
