| “ | The Portuguese folk music form fado has gained international recognition in recent years thanks to the stellar work of young ladies Cristina Branco, Mariza, Misia and the late Amalia Rodrigues, grand dame of fadistas. This 19-track collection of previously released material goes well beyond showcasing modern fado divas---also included here are a healthy helping of the often overlooked male singers and famous older tracks by artists who may not still be with us, such as Fernando Mauricio, Maria Teresa de Noronha and Herminia Silva. | ” |
| “ | The Portuguese folk music form fado has gained international recognition in recent years thanks to the stellar work of young ladies Cristina Branco, Mariza, Misia and the late Amalia Rodrigues, grand dame of fadistas. This 19-track collection of previously released material goes well beyond showcasing modern fado divas---also included here are a healthy helping of the often overlooked male singers and famous older tracks by artists who may not still be with us, such as Fernando Mauricio, Maria Teresa de Noronha and Herminia Silva. The album features a nicely varied line-up----only Antonio Chainho gets two songs, and that's because his feature different singers. Promising newcomers come in the form of Ana Moura and Joana Amendoeira. Some things old, some things new, all of it borrowed and all of it blue, the Rough Guide to Fado will go a long way towards expanding the fado universe for neophytes, and it's a fine reminder that the passion of this relatively well-defined style is not one dimensional. ~ Tad Hendrickson, Amazon | ” |
| “ | Not to be outdone in Iberian song by their own flamenco albums, in 2004 the Rough Guide series released The Rough Guide to Fado, an album that consciously looks only at the Lisbon and Coimbra traditions, and focuses on their differences to a degree. The album opens with Antуnio Zambujo, one of the newer stars with a touch of the cante tradition included in his song. An Amalia protйgй follows, as does guitarrada star Antуnio Chainho. The powerful Cristina Branco comes soon after, followed by traditional format singer Vicente Da Camara (a relative of the great Maria Teresa de Noronha, no less). Artur Paredes, the very inventor of the Coimbra guitar traditions, is given a prominent spot in the middle of the album, joined by the master Amalia herself. The iconoclast Maria Da Fe has a moment in the light, and after a few others the venerable Maria Teresa De Noronha takes a turn. The album finishes on some of the newer voices of the tradition, from both sides of fado. Between the old and new, and the traditional and revolutionary, the album finds a good balance of sounds. The vocals are constantly worthwhile, as they are really the soul of fado, a music known almost entirely for its soul. Likewise, the regrettably few tracks of guitarrada here hail from the greatest names of the tradition. There are a few other noteworthy fado albums to be had already on the market, but this one is easily included as one of the better compilations, particularly for beginning listeners. ~ Adam Greenberg, CDUniverse | ” |
