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.
