Ladies of Fado
Ladies of Fado ( As Senhoras do Fado) is the newest addition I've made to my music collection. It's an absolute gem and should be a part of your music collection as well, in my humble opinion. Every song on this album is beautiful and passionate. It's one of those albums that you can put on, sit down and listen to all the way through. Ladies of Fado is an anthology album of songs created, sung and recorded between 1925 and 1945. My favorite song on this album is the first one, Fado Menhor, sung by Maria Teresa de Noronha. With a simple, deeply sad melody and Maria's gentle, melancholic voice this song captured me instantly. But this album is full of great songs sung by the greatest fado singers of the twentieth century. Songs by Amalia Rodrigues - whom you've heard on the show before - and Ermelinda Vitoria.
You can preview the entire album in the player to the right. Much of the music displayed here on the blog, or in my podcast shows are brought to you by Calabash Music, one of the best music sites on the web. Period. If you've arrived here and you've never heard the podcast before - and you like tango and tango related music, subscribe to the show!

Anamar: Transfado
Hopefully by tomorrow a new episode will be out. I know that this podcast focuses on old music but please forgive me if every now and then I showcase modern artists. My collection of old music is extremely small right now and I won't be able to really get into the older songs until I start working again in September. In the summer money is always low and I'm in the beginning process of building my tango music library.
So. . . . This week's episode showcases the singer Anamar. Anamar resides in Portugal and she is a fado music artist. Fado is Portuguese musical style and transfado is a blending of Portuguese, Afro and Latin musical styles. The artist herself says that transfado is: "Fado with a Latin and Afro mood, blended with Tango, Milonga, Morna, Rumba, Habanera... pleasure. Vibrant songs. Theatrical impact. Deep voice. Piano, double bass and portuguese guitar."
Some of the strongest elements blended with transfado is Tango and Milonga and that is why I chose to Anamar's music for this particular show. Transfado is also the name of her current album. I'll be playing songs from this album this week and I hope you enjoy it. You can find more information about this artist and her CD at Magnatune.
You can also go to the Magnatune site and see a video of Anamar live in concert.
