Yeah it is true, northern african (arabic) Melody guitars etc. Even some words in the Portuguese language have "arabic" words not used in Castilian spanish.
IS PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE INFLUENCED BY ARABIC
««I even heard that portuguese national music FADO its influenced by arabic melody. »»
Fado from Latin Fatu means fate or destiny. No one really knows its origin. The first references to what may have been fado first appear in Brazil related to the African lundum. Fado appears in Portugal only in the XIX century and there are several theories for its origin:
1-African via Brazil (brought by sailors or students.)
2-Galician-Portuguese medieval Cantigas de Amor.
3- The Arab "ouds" from the times of Al-Andaluz.
Or it is just a mixture of all the above.

Silves - the Konii called it Zilb; the Romans called it Cilpes. Obviously not an Arab name.
Alma - from Latin Anima.
Além - from arc. alende < Lat. ad + ille + inde.
Alma - from Latin Anima.
Além - from arc. alende < Lat. ad + ille + inde.
Continental Portuguese does use many Arabic words like alforreca (jellyfish) or alfazema (lavand). In Brazil, non Arabic- words like água-viva (or medusa) /jellyfish/ and lavanda /lavand/ are preferred. So, the number of Arab words in Brazilian Portuguese is much lower.

But the number of Arab-Brazilians is soooo big. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Brazilian

We started our expansion a thousand years ago in Entre-Douro-e-Minho.
We have conquered Coimbra, Lisboa, Alentejo, Algarve, Madeira, Açores, São Paulo, Salvador da Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Rio Grande do Sul, oh God, what a Trip !
Thank's for the Almorávidas e Almoádas that once upon a time invaded us !
Nobody would like more the Arabs and Moors than our Warrior People.
May the Alcácer Quibir ghosts show the way for the Redemption !
In Brazil we can use "represa" or "açude" as a linguistic methodology to find the northern or southern origin of the colonizers.
Mind the gap !
