Amaliando

Amaliando is a podcast of the Amália Rodrigues Foundation that aims to reflect on Amália and her legacy. This project unites different generations and wants to open doors to the multiple investigations that the universe of Amalia can and should embrace. In conversation format, each episode features a different guest and a specific theme through Amália. Find out below all the episodes of Amaliando. (Note: All the episodes, so far, are in Portuguese)

Subject Description
Mísia
Amália - the most contemporary of us all

"In most countries, Amália had left Fado on a level
unsurpassed and that was a huge help to me. She
remains alive and venerated, and it is pathetic to see
the search for new Amálias when the "new Amália" is
herself, always and timeless."
In this conversation, Mísia tells us about the influence of
Amália in the internationalization of Portuguese music and
in the path of national artists, outside Portugal. Acclaimed
in Japan, France and Spain, Mísia has just launched a new
project: "Mísia - Animal Sentimental". She tells us about
her career, the poets who wrote for her, the affection of
the foreign audience for Fado and the album "Para Amália",
tribute with four originals inspired by the art and life of Amália.

the life and in the construction of Amália, which canons
did she break and which source of inspiration is Amália
for designers and artists of nowadays.
