Fado Singer Revelation by Foundation Amália Rodrigues
“Like the clay that plunges and commands the hands of a craftsman so does Duarte’s ‘fado’ invading his voice and commanding himself. I never see the distance nor the impulse that makes that singing. In his ‘fados’ there is a slipping of his emotional strain, an immense promiscuity between voice and silences. Any memory of ‘fado’ we heard, vanishes. (…)Some days we keep beeing ourselves, not allways, but when we let ourselves be filled by this ‘fado’ we surely are increasingly beeing ourselves. And it is in his ‘fados’ that we review our own ‘fado’ (destiny) …” (M.Chambel)
