Por Este Rio Acima - Fausto

A reimagining of Portuguese singer-songwriter, Fausto’s album Por Este Rio Acima. Using a cover image of King Sebastian of Portugal, who disappeared in battle and left the country without an heir. Both Fausto's music and Sebastianism encompass a shared theme of hope and renewal. 

Sebastianism, rooted in the legend that King Sebastian of Portugal, symbolizes a collective longing for a messianic figure who will lead the nation once again. Similarly, Fausto's music reflects a profound sense of nostalgia, yearning for a bygone era and a desire to reconnect with the nation's cultural heritage. Through his compositions, Fausto conjures a powerful emotional connection to Portuguese history and traditions, evoking a sentiment similar to the anticipation of a messiah in Sebastianism.
