Lisbon (Portugal), Sep 22 (EFE), (Camera: Cynthia de Benito).- The coronavirus may have disrupted the seating capacity, but will not disturb the intensity of the tribute to the centenary of Amália, the great diva of Fado, which hosts the Teatro Real in Madrid next Saturday. It's about making a virtue out of necessity. The event, the X International Fado Festival in Madrid, was intended to be the great commemoration abroad of the so-called "voice of Portugal", which was born 100 years ago.FOOTAGE OF THE FADO MUSEUM IN LISBON AND SOUNDBITES FROM FÁBIA REBORDÃO AND ANA MOURA, FADISTAS.TRANSLATION:REBORDÃO:"I am going to sing "Estranha forma de vida", which is one of the first songs Amália wrote, and therefore I chose that song, I recorded a video clip during the pandemic, at the beginning of the pandemic, I recorded it on my birthday, to offer it to all those who were in the first line, that was my way of paying homage. So I think that is going to be the icing on the cake of the concert, because it has different arrangements than Amália's, because I think we can change the form and not the content, I think the content should be kept. Therefore I am going to sing that song, "Estranha forma de vida" like so many others that I decided to pay homage to her especially in this year that is 100 years old". MOURA:"I think... I can talk about my case, right? I took a look at the box office and you can see that it is already being composed, and therefore, I feel happy to feel that interest from people, and the expectation is... for example, I was in France now and I felt that people were eager to hear music and to feel the comfort that music can give them. And therefore that is my expectation: that people feel related to the music I have to help them, and to the comfort that I can give them through the music that I sing."
