Portugal beatmaster Marco Miranda aka M-PeX released Phado, a great album showcasing Portuguese guitar as taught to Marco by his grandfather. Applying the traditional strings to contemporary fusion with the inclusion of electronic beats, M-PeX is an ethnic time machine best accompanied by sentimental moods. Sometimes the guitar sounds like old school harpsichord (minus the hammer-ons and sliding). Not all of the songs are in minor keys so listen to more than the above track and maybe if you're feeling motivated you can manage the buy link above which is much more complicated than your average purchase.
