Madredeus...Faluas Do Tejo: Lisboa 2005...Portugese folk in purest form

In Faluas do Tejo, Madredeus presents a collection of songs about the city of Lisbon. The arrangements are mostly simple and folksy, showcasing Teresa Salguero's voice in its purest form.

"Lisboa, Rainha do Mar" opens the album with a light barcarole-sounding song that immediately conjures images of the Tagus river.

"Nevoas da Madrugada" carries a simple melody and light musical arrangement. 

"O Cais Distante" is a moody, almost bluesy meditation.

"Na Estrada de Santiago" is a speak-sing number where Teresa sings a beautiful background melody that reinforces the power of her spoken parts.

"La de Fora" stands out as a happy, almost dance-able tune that has an alternating root-fifth bass line. 

"O Canto do Saudade" finishes the album with a seaside, drink-in-hand feel that makes you want to start all the songs over again from the beginning. Notably, Teresa sings in a lower range for this song and you get to hear a different tone that is much more comfortable to the ear, especially if you don't like her very high parts.

Enjoy the virtual trip to Lisbon.

The Rough Guide to Rebetika...the music of the Greek underworld

Rebétika is the music of the Greek underworld, whose golden years started shortly after Greek national independence and lasted until the 1950's. A rich and heady stew, rebétika focuses on hopeless love, disease, drugs, death and imprisonment. As a musical form, it draws on numerous sources such as the formal instrumental suites of the Ottoman court, the solo vocals of Turkey and Iran, and the captivating, sophisticated instrumentation of the café aman in Istanbul and Izmir. The Rough Guide To Rebétika showcases some of the best rebétika artists from its early roots to the rising stars from the more recent revival movement.
