Rodrigues, Amalia

L'ame D'un Pays / A Country's Soul / A Alma Do Pais (19

"Her pure talent caused a huge stir when she appeared in the world of Fado at the age of 19, and for several decades, both at home and abroad, AmAlia Rodrigues symbolized the quintessence of this urban popular genre whose heart lay in Lisbon. AmAlia made the reper-toire richer by introducing major new composers and poets who seduced intellectuals, yet she never renounced her origins: she remained devoted to the most traditional Fado styles. This new FrEmeaux release gives new life to 38 exemplary titles recorded between 1945 and1957, the decade in which AmAlia Rodrigues won international acclaim while creating the history of modern Fado."
