”Yes, I question everything, I am fadista!” ”My life was guided by my voice, it was the stream of my voice that took her (…) It is really a strange way of life.” ”I sing because I like to, otherwise I would not be sincere with myself. I feel good singing, I feel a message.”Amália Rodrigues (1920 – 1999)
