Madredeus - Haja O Que Houver

Madredeus is a Portuguese band. Their music combines traditional Portuguese music (many times erroneously associated with the subgenre of Fado) with influences with modern folk music. The lyrics are often melancholic and related to the sea or travelling or absence, continuing a tradition of songs that dates back to Medieval times (with obvious relations to cantigas de amigo among others). The band's founding members were Pedro Ayres Magalhães (Classical guitar), Rodrigo Leão (keyboard synthesizer), Francisco Ribeiro (cello), Gabriel Gomes (accordion) and Teresa Salgueiro (vocals). Magalhães and Leão formed the band in 1985, Ribeiro and Gomes joined in 1986. They'd been searching for a female singer, and found Teresa Salgueiro in one of Lisbon's night clubs. Teresa liked their music and agreed to join, so in 1987 Madredeus recorded their first album, Os dias da Madredeus.

The paintings are from José Vital Branco Malhoa, known simply as José Malhoa (1855 - 1933). He was a Portuguese painter, born in Caldas da Rainha. He was, with Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro, the leading name in Portuguese naturalist painting, in the second half of the 19th century. He painted often popular scenes and subjects, like his two most famous paintings, "The Drunks" (1907) and "Fado" (1910). He always remained faithful to the naturalist style, but in some of is works, there are impressionist influences, like in his "Autumn" (1918), that can be considered as an "impressionist exercise". He saw at the end of his life, the inauguration of the José Malhoa Museum, in Caldas da Rainha.

Madredeus take a special and unique position not only in Portugals' musical history, but in that of Europe and the world. Although I thought it a shame that Teresa Salgueiro left the band (after already many changes in the line-up over the years), a totally new page was turned when Pedro Ayres Magelhães and Carlos Maria Trindade (successor of Leão) combined with the Cosmic Band (Madredeus e a Banda Cósmica). The 3 albums they made so far are brilliant!
