Description
The voice of Amália Rodrigues, the "Queen of Fado" and Portugal's most celebrated diva, was extraordinary for its interpretive power, soul wrenching timbre, and international reach. Amália at the Olympia (1957), a recording of her concert at the fabled Olympia Theater in Paris in 1956, an album issued for multiple markets, from France to Japan, catapulted her into the international limelight. This book unpacks this iconic album and the voice, sound, style, and celebrity of Amália Rodrigues. In so doing, it examines processes which shaped the internationalization of local popular musics and the making of musical stardom in the 20th century.
