What a delight to further discover the cultural icon that is Amalia Rodrigues and her incredible legacy. She would have been 100 years old yesterday and after a brief look at Portuguese news and weather, we looked at her life and listened to some of her music.
"Despite the government's heavy promotion of Rodrigues as a national symbol of Portugal, in private, Salazar hated Fado and Rodrigues (whom he referred to as 'that creature'), considering its central concept of 'saudade' (nostalgia or a painful yearning for the past) as anti-modern and 'has a softening influence on the Portuguese character', one that 'sapped all energy from the soul and led to inertia'." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Am%C3%A1lia_Rodrigues
