🎙 ナレーション（約900字 / English & 日本語）

ENGLISH

Coimbra rises before me like a hillside tapestry—whitewashed buildings stacked beneath the grand silhouette of the University of Coimbra. As I wander through narrow lanes paved with centuries of footsteps, the city carries an intellectual hush, broken only by the gentle echo of guitar strings drifting from student quarters.

This is the home of Coimbra Fado, a refined and scholarly cousin of Lisbon’s Fado. Here, the songs are sung traditionally by male students, their voices restrained yet resonant, shaped by academic life and the bittersweet passing of youth. The melodies speak of longing, of unrequited love, and of the quiet pride of belonging to an ancient university.

A musician invites me to sit in the courtyard of an 18th-century building. He holds a classical guitar, its polished wood glowing under the lamplight. The first notes bloom softly, joined by the distinct shimmer of the Portuguese guitar. The sound is intimate, almost whispered—like a secret shared among friends.

Wrapped in their black traje académico, a group of students gathers to rehearse. Their capes swing gently as they harmonize, the music echoing along the cloisters. I feel the weight of tradition in every phrase, yet the emotion remains young, searching, restless.

Coimbra’s Fado lives in twilight moments: the end of a semester, a farewell on a bridge, a solitary walk back to the dormitories. It is music that grows with the listener, maturing like the memories it preserves.

Next, I’ll follow the Iberian sun eastward to Seville, Spain, where the fiery world of Flamenco awaits.

丘の斜面に積み重なるように広がる白壁の街──コインブラ。その頂に大学の威厳ある建物がそびえ、細い路地を歩くと、知識人の空気が静かに漂います。そんな静寂を破るのは、学生宿舎から流れてくるギターの柔らかな響きだけ。

ここは コインブラ・ファド の故郷。リスボンの哀歌的なファドとは異なり、学問と青春の情緒を内包した、洗練された歌の文化です。伝統的には男子学生が歌い、抑制された声の奥に、叶わぬ恋や若さの儚さ、そして古い大学に属する誇りが込められています。

18世紀の建物の中庭で、ギタリストが私を招き入れてくれました。磨かれた木肌が灯りに照らされ、クラシック・ギターの最初の一音が静かに空気を震わせます。そこにポルトガル・ギターのきらめく音色が重なり、まるで秘密をそっと語るような、親密なアンサンブルが生まれます。

黒い トラージ・アカデミコ に身を包んだ学生たちが集まり、合唱の練習を始めました。揺れるマントの影が石造りの回廊をゆらし、その歌声はどこか青く、どこか切ない。伝統の重みを感じながらも、そこにあるのは今を生きる若者の感情です。

コインブラのファドは、夕暮れとともに深みを増します。学期の終わり、橋の上の別れ、静かな寮への帰り道──そんな瞬間にそっと寄り添う音楽です。

そして次回は、太陽の道をたどりスペイン・セビリアへ。燃えるような フラメンコ の世界へ旅を続けます。
