Amália
Amália da Piedade Rebordão Rodrigues
(Lisboa, 23 de Julho ou 1 de Julho de 1920 — Lisboa, 6 de Outubro
de 1999) foi uma fadista, cantora e actriz portuguesa, considerada
o exemplo máximo do fado. Está sepultada no Panteão Nacional, entre
os portugueses ilustres.
Tornou-se conhecida
mundialmente como a Rainha do Fado e, por consequência, devido ao
simbolismo que este género musical tem na cultura portuguesa, foi
considerada por muitos como uma das melhores embaixadoras do país.
Aparecia em vários programas de televisão pelo mundo fora, onde não
só cantava fados e outras canções de tradição popular portuguesa,
como música de outras origens (por exemplo, música espanhola).

Amalia
Amália da
Piedade Rebordão Rodrigues, (July 1920 – October 6, 1999) was
a Portuguese singer and actress. Born in Lisbon, official documents
give her date of birth as July 23, but Rodrigues always said her
birthday was July 1, 1920. She was born in the rua Martim Vaz
(Martim Vaz Street), freguesia of Pena, Lisbon. Her father was a
trumpet player and cobbler from Fundão who returned there when
Amália was just over a year old, leaving her to live in Lisbon with
her maternal grandmother in a deeply Catholic environment until she
was 14, when her parents returned to the capital and she moved back
in with them.
She was
known as the "Rainha do Fado" ("Queen of Fado") and was most
influential in popularizing the fado worldwide. She was
unquestionably the most important figure in the genre’s
development[citation needed], by virtue of an innate interpretive
talent carefully nurtured throughout a 40-year recording and stage
career. Rodrigues' performances and choice of repertoire pushed
Fado’s boundaries and helped redefine it and reconfigure it for her
and subsequent generations. In effect, Rodrigues wrote the rulebook
on what fado could be and on how a female singer—or Fadista—should
perform it, to the extent that she remains an unsurpassable model
and an unending source of repertoire for all those who came
afterwards. Rodrigues also remains the sole truly international
star to have ever come out of Portugal[citation needed], with an
extensive international career between the 1950s and the 1970s,
although in an era where such efforts were not as easily quantified
as today.
