"Amália revisited" gathers some of the most representative talents of the fresher Portuguese scene.
Amália Rodrigues is the worldwide recognized ambassadress of the Portuguese cultural treasure: Fado. 5 years after her departure, the cream of the contemporary Portuguese language spoken music artists have accepted the noble invitation to revisit the songs that made Amália the great legend she is.
Through 15 songs, this homage to the Queen Of Fado takes the listener on a sound voyage from hip hop, pop, soul to electronic music. The link between all of them is Amália, our greatest Diva (that as been used as a reference to artists such as Bjork, Goldfrapp and Lhasa de Sela).
With two exceptions, the full album is a remake of the most famous themes sang by Amália. Each project made their one reading of the original song and the final result is a beautiful, soulful and exquisite record, enriched by the two specially produced tracks by the main hip hop Portuguese artist – Sam the Kid – and by the members of one of the most original local acts – Blasted Mechanism, hereunder signed as Kandoo. The other side of Atlantic – Brazil – is here represented by the fine adaptation of “Meu Amor, Meu Amor” by Metrô.
