Synopsis
Amazon.com Named for the Madre de Deus neighborhood in Lisbon, the award-winning ensemble Madredeus has performed the haunting Portuguese musical genre known as fadoall over the globe. With the classical guitarists Jose Peixoto and Fernando Judice, keyboardist Carlos Maria Trindade, and keyboardist/guitarist/producer Pedro Ayres Magalhaes, Madredeus has expanded the musical horizons of Portugal's national music without sacrificing its beautiful, Moorish-descended sound. The Dark Angel vocals of Teresa Salgueiro provide the right Iberian seasoning on the CD's 16 tracks. From the philosophical lines of "Anseio" and the hypnotic harmonics of "Ecos na Cathedral" to the jazzy basslines of "Afinal--A Minha Cancao," Madredeus makes timeless and timeful music. --Eugene Holley, Jr. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsMAGICAL 07/23/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am Portuguese, aged 29 and was only 14 years old when Madredeus appeared as a musical group.
Since then, I have been following closely their carreer. After so many years, seeing how they became better and better, listening to their records and going to so many concerts, I can only say that this group has changed my life. Their music is truly magical... For us, here in Portugal, it's with great emotion that we see the success they have achieved both here and abroad. The last album "Movimento" is almost a review of all those years behind and how the future should be: with peace, love and faith. Madredeus make me feel hopeful and fight for a better future for us all: that is the message of Movimento. And that is true magic: being able to express in words and through a magnificent voice what we all feel and hope." |
