Description
Amália da Piedade Rodrigues, (July 23, 1920 - October 6, 1999), also known as Amália Rodrigues was a Portuguese singer and actress. She was known as the "Rainha do Fado" ("Queen of Fado") and was most influential in popularizing the fado worldwide. She was one of the most important figures in the genre's development, and enjoyed a 40-year recording and stage career. Rodrigues' performances and choice of repertoire pushed fado's boundaries and helped redefine it and reconfigure it for her and subsequent generations. In effect, Rodrigues wrote the rulebook on what fado could be and on how a female fadista - or fado singer - should perform it, to the extent that she remains an unsurpassable model and an unending source of repertoire for all those who came afterwards. Rodrigues enjoyed an extensive international career between the 1950s and the 1970s, although in an era where such efforts were not as easily quantified as today. Other well-known international fado artists such as Madredeus, Dulce Pontes and Mariza have come close, however. This is the second volume in a series of 4 launched by Helix to pay homage to the Queen Of Fado. Track Listing: CD1 - 01. Coimbra (Abril Em Portugal) 02. Tudo Isto É Fado 03. Fado Da Saudade 04.
