    THE PORTUGUESE BLUES; THESE ARE OLD RECORDINGS BUT OK QUALITY
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2016*

The fifth cd called The History of Fado consists of singers probably earlier than Amalia.  There are no liner notes.  But the Fado on this cd could be from very old recordings.  I looked up some of the singers and they go back to 1920 and earlier.Altho the new "Queens of Fado" are fantastic and have revived appreciation of Fado and Amalia, the old recordings show how timeless and relatively unchanging this music is.I have better old Fado recordings however.  But most seem to be from the 50s to 70s. These could be much earlier as I say.The ones by Amalia on the other 4 cds seem also to be older too. She first recorded in1946 through the 1970s,But she created the highly expressive style that typifies the new singers, most of who are beautiful young women like she was..Fado is a music full of reflection more than melancholy, as is often thought.Born of the ports of Portugal where young men took the risks required of a seafaring nation for centuries.And their women longed for their return.My friends grew up in the Rock and Roll era and tend towards the blues idiom.None of them ever heard of Fado but all are moved when I play this great music, often called the "Portuguese Blues".

    Beautiful and Pure
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2014*

Even though I have no idea of the meaning of the words, it brings me to tears to hear her music from the soul.  She sings with such a clear emotional voice it doesn't need to be translated.  Even my son thought it was beautiful.  I can play it for hours.
