Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The voice of Amalia Rodrigues (1920-1999), the Queen of Fado and Portugals most celebrated diva, was extraordinary for its interpretive power, soul wrenching timbre, and international reach. Amalia a lOlympia (1957) is an album made from recordings of her first performances at the fabled Olympia Music Hall in Paris in 1956. This album, which was issued for multiple national markets (including: France; USA; Japan; Britain; the Netherlands) catapulted Amalia Rodrigues into the international limelight. During its time, this album held the potential for international listeners, outside of Portugal, to represent Portugal, while also standing in for cosmopolitanism, the glamorous city of Paris, and to present a sonorous voyage in sound.This book introduces readers to the voice of Amalia Rodrigues and to the genre of the Portuguese fado, offering a primer in how to listen to both. It unpacks this iconic album and the voice, sound, style, and celebrity of Amalia Rodrigues. It situates this album within a historical context marked by cold war Atlanticist diplomacy, Portugals dictatorial regime, and the emergence of new forms of media, travel, and tourism.In so doing, it examines processes that shaped the internationalization of peripheral popular musics and the making of female vocal stardom in the mid-20th century.
