Catastrophes, wars, terrorism, ecological disasters, deadly diseases, poverty .... The list of tragedies - both personal and public - is endless. Every day and hour media, politicians, experts - and charlatans - bring us a never ending barrage of bad things. No wonder that many people feel depressed and weary. This blog tries - in a modest and personal way - to contribute to a more balanced view. After all, there is so much to appreciate and enjoy in life ...

The Art of Amália Rodrigues
Portuguese Fado music is nowadays known and loved all over the world. For this we have foremostly to thank Amália Rodrigues (1920-1999), the Qeen of Fado, who still is unsurpassed as a Fado performer and one of the best female singers in any genre.
If you still are not familiar with the art of the great Amália, listen to these interpretations, and I think also you will become a fan:
Fado Português
Tudo isto é fado
Fado do Ciúme
Com que voz
The fine CD "The Art of Amália" and many other of her recordings are available e.g. here.
