Description
Closer of my painting Amalia Rodrigues Music born in the soul
◾Amalia Rodrigues was a Portuguese fado singer. Known as the Rainha do Fado (Queen of Fado), Rodrigues helped popularize fado worldwide and traveled internationally between the 1950s and 1970s. She also became one of the most important figures in the genres development, becoming the pre-eminent female fadista during a 50-year recording and stage career.
Most importantly Ama put fado as a musical genre on the map of world music, in dictionaries, libraries and musical essays. She paved the way for the generations that would follow, and that continue her legacy.
