Balance of 2007/Plans for 2008

Hi there! One more year begins and we hope it is a wonderful year for all of us! Today I felt that it needed to share with you some joys and to make the balance of the year of 2007 of our blog. Adélia´s blog was created in 24/09/2007, about 3 months. In this short time of life, we have already received more than 6,200 visits, in the pages in Portuguese and English, from 25 countries: Brazil, Portugal, Australia, Mexico, France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Luxemburg, Germany, Turkey, Austria, Chile, Switzerland, Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Argentina, Finlândia, United States, Singapure, India, Israel, Greece and Romênia. 33 songs at You Tube, had more than 15,500 exhibitions, and the song "É Natal" is the most played, with 2151 exhibitions in little more than 20 days. These numbers, compared with other blogs and sites of artists that have the great media on their favour and that are in their home-land are very teeny, but for me, that only created this blog as a homage and to speak of an artist that is far of her Native land, are wonderful numbers. This shows two things. The first one is that Adélia is loved by the people and that her work, her value as fadista, is recognized by the public all around the world , also in Portugal, the second thing is that, when something is made with love, it does not need much money and pyrotechnics. Moreover, with this international recognition, the world begins to see that Fado is also made out of Portugal. That there are many fadistas in the world, that hardly divulge this wonderful music in foreign lands. They deserve to be known in their own Native land. What makes the artist is the public and is for them that the artist makes its art. Therefore, thank all of you, that quiet visit us, hear Adélia at You Tube, at the blog, at the Sapo Videos, the programs of radio, in records. We also thank the friends broadcasters and journalists who have helped us a lot. To all of you our deeper thanks. For this year we will have many new features, I am with many ideas, and of course, talking about our beloved Adélia Pedrosa, we have much material to share with you. To that ones that can think that homages are made just when the artists are not more between us, we inform: Adélia Pedrosa continues singing, and singing beautufully, for our joy and enchantment.
And that´s it! Now, as a gift, one more video, the fado "Minha Alma de Amor Sedenta " (My Soul Thirstier of Love), recorded live, during a show in Rio De Janeiro. The video is above. Many kisses to everybody!
