The Very Best Of Amália Rodrigues (180g) (Limited Edition)

Amália Rodrigues was the unsurpassed queen of Portuguese fado. She not only popularized fado throughout South America, she reinvented it by singing material that went far beyond the traditional stories of failed romances to instead explore the deepest crises of the soul and spirit. It is thanks to her that an internationally unknown musical genre like Portuguese fado became a medium of universal expression known the world over. This collection contains some of her greatest hits, including such enduring favorites as "Uma Casa Portuguesa", "Ai Mouraria" and the unforgettable "Coimbra", also known as "April in Portugal".
