In this bilingual work, in Portuguese/English, organized and introduced by the most prominent Fado historian, Rui Vieira Nery, readers of Portuguese and English languages will learn about all of Amália Rodrigues’ original poetry and much more about her life and work. from this unmissable artist, with beautiful new illustrations by the most award-winning Portuguese illustrator today, André Carrilho.
