Amalia Rodrigues - Fado Malhoa & Portuguese Artists` Paintings

... Amália da Piedade Rodrigues (July 23, 1920 -- October 6, 1999) was a Portuguese singer and actress. She was known as the "Rainha do Fado" ("Queen of Fado") and was most influential in popularizing the fado worldwide. She was one of the most important figures in the genre's development, and enjoyed a 50-year recording and stage career. Amália' performances and choice of repertoire pushed fado's boundaries and helped redefine it and reconfigure it for her and subsequent generations. In effect, Amália wrote the rulebook on what fado could be and on how a female fadista — or fado singer — should perform it, to the extent that she remains an unsurpassable model and an unending source of repertoire for all those who came afterwards...

... The Portrait of Amalia Rodrigues is painted by Madalena Lobao Tello ... Other paintings are from Jose Malhoa , Jose Julio Sousa Pinto , Aurelia de Souza , Henrique Medina , Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro , Henrique Pousao , Leonel Marques Pereira , Manuel Jardim , Joao Marques de Oliveira , Antonio Corvalho de Silva Porte , Adriano de Sousa Lopes ...

Alguém,
que Deus já lá tem
Pintor consagrado
que foi bem grande
e nos dói
já ser do passado
pintou numa tela
com arte e com vida
a trova mais bela
da terra mais querida

subiu,
a um quarto que viu
à luz do petróleo
e fez o mais Português
dos quadros a óleo
o Zé de Samarra
com a amante a seu lado
com os dedos agarra
percorre a guitarra
e ali vê-se o fado

faz rir
A ideia de ouvir
com os olhos, senhores
fará, mas não p'ra quem já
ouviu, mas em cores
há vozes d'Alfama
naquela pintura
a a banza derrama
canções de amargura

dali
vos digo que ouvi
a voz que se esmera
dançando o Faia banal
cantando a Severa
aquilo é bairrista
aquilo é Lisboa
boémia e fadista
aquilo é de artista
aquilo é Malhoa

aquilo é bairrista
aquilo é Lisboa
boémia e fadista
aquilo é de artista
e aquilo é Malhoa

Ahh so this is your upload. It's kind of difficult to tell lately because I have noticed that anything on my channel is as if it came from me. Also allow me to say: You could turn your input volume down a bit and they would usually sound better at first.

It really does sound much better when kind of quiet. But maybe all of your friends just do everything louder too, I do not know, haha!!

I am grateful to have diversified and different friends, and you are the only Azeri I know after all !! d;)
