Amália Rodrigues - Busto (As Asas Fechadas)
Album
Amália Rodrigues's 1962 album with composer Alain Oulman changed fado by setting serious contemporary poetry, by writers such as David Mourão-Ferreira and Alexandre O'Neill, to new melodies. Povo Que Lavas no Rio is the performance to start with: slow, grave and gripping. Choose it to hear the Queen of Fado at her most ambitious.
