This is an extraordinary cd.......2001-01-27

For Dulce Ponte lovers (I want her in Mexico, but she hasn't visited us), and also for Cesaria Evora (she is not from Portugal, I don't know who included her in "O melhor de Portugal" -best from Portugal-), Anabela and other Portugal music fans, this is an extraordinary record. Unfortunately, the version of Amalia Rodrigues' "Uma casa Portuguesa" is not the best (she was very old when she recorded in NYC Town Hall, 1990). I could discover João Pedro, a child with a beautyful voice, singing about the "lenda da fonte" (fountain's leyend), a classic.

Album Details

When Amalia Rodrigues Died in 1999 Portugal Observed Three Days of National Mourning and She was Posthumously Named 'The Voice of Portugal'. She was the Queen of the Fado, which She Made Popular in South America as Well as the Rest of the World. Fado is Tales of Failed Passions and Broken Romances but Retains a Haunting Beauty.

Enjoy this voice!.......2002-04-07

I did not understand the language, but no matter. The discs will be played over and over again such is the feeling of warmth generated by the singer. As with any foreign language offering there will be limited appeal. In this case it is a great shame.
