'Mulheres de Abril' sheds light on the women José Afonso sang about — their intimate stories and the progressive vision he projected of women’s role in a society undergoing transformation.
The LP edition has been carefully pressed on 180-gram colored vinyl at 45 RPM, ensuring an exceptional listening experience. The faster rotation preserves every detail, texture, and nuance of Cristina Branco’s performance. A piece to listen to, to treasure, and to feel, with the attention that Abril deserves.
The album brings together eight emblematic compositions: “Endechas a Bárbara Escrava”, “De Não Saber o Que Me Espera”, “Canção do Desterro”, “Teresa Torga”, “Canção da Paciência”, “Mulher da Erva”, “Verdade e Mentira” and “Verdes São os Campos”.
