These definitely are early recordings, with less-than-optimal sound quality. But ignore that and focus on her voice. She’s the “Queen of Fado,” and she has the emotional quality of a Portuguese Edith Piaf. There are some folk songs thrown in, but the best stuff are the fado tracks, where her lush voice all but drips heartbreak. All good, especially: 1. A light and happy folk tune. 3. Soaring vocals, gentle guitars. A good representative of work. 4. Lively guitars and wonderful passages of vocal expertise. 6. Sad and full of longing w/subtle guitar work. 7. A gentle mid-tempo folk tune. 9. Rich vocals w/a gently emotional quality. 10. Slow & tragic. Does anybody have a hanky? 14. A downtempo folk dance w/a sense of romance & sweetness. 18. Gentle and nostalgic. 5/2004 | ||
