Ten Of The Best: Amália Rodrigues And Ana Moura (6)



I am smitten with the vitality and passion of Portuguese fado and Spanish flamenco music. This is the late, great Amália Rodrigues (1920-1999), who was known as the Rainha do Fado, the Queen of Fado. If you like this, you must also listen to the fabulous Ana Moura (b. 1979), whom I've featured before on this blog. Here she is singing Amor Afoito from her album Desfado, and here she joins with the brilliant Israeli musician Idan Raichel in Sabe Deus (God Knows).
