Santo Antonio from Lisboa

Santo Antonio was born in Lisbon in 1195 and died in Pádua in 1231. There is a legend that, inexplicably, in Lisbon, the bells started to ring in the exact moment that he was canonized.

This is the time of the popular marches, and our video of the week shows some images of this party. Adélia sings "Lisboa Numa Cantiga", with the

Ferrer Trindade Orchestra. In the pictures, you can see: Adélia, Fernando Maurício, Ruy Castellar, Eugenia Maria, Fernando Peres, Maria Tereza Quintas, Joaquim Pimentel and Maria José Vilar at the Madragoa March; Adélia and Felner da Costa, at the Restaurant Folclore, in Lisbon; Adélia, Mário Rocha, Antonio Rogiero and Celso Guimarães, at Fado, from Tony de Matos, in Rio de Janeiro and Adélia, Terezinha Alves and Sebastião Manuel during the play "Portugal em Revista" in the part that showed the popular marches. Joy! Viva Santo Antonio!
Come back this weekend, we´ll have more news. Kisses!

History

Adélia Pedrosa, is considered to be one of Brazil's most expressive and versatile interpretor of Portuguese music. She was born at the beach of Pedrógão in the district of Leiria, Portugal. Orphaned of her father at the age of seven, Adélia went to Brazil when she was twelve, with her adoptive grandparents, leaving behind her mother, who joined them in Brazil seven years later. Her first auditorium were the fishermen that lived in the colony where she lived in Brazil. Daughter of a fisherman, Adélia sings about the nostalgia
of the sea. She was also known as Maria do Mar (Mary of the Sea) and in dedication three fados were especially composed for her -- "Sou Filha de Pescador" ("I am Daughter of a Fisherman"), by Armando Silva, "Maria do Mar" (Mary of the Sea) by José Maria Rodrigues, and "Garota da Beira Mar"
("Girl from the Seaside") by Joaquim Pimentel.
Adélia initiated her victorious career, on a radio show called Programa dos Astros (Show of the Stars), at Vera Cruz Radio, Rio de Janeiro, directed by Joaquim Pimentel.
Joaquim Pimentel was a big responsible for promoting Portuguese music in Brazil and who Adélia considered a father figure.
Professionally, she made her first appearance at a restaurant called Fado, venue of the great fadista, Tony de Matos who was also in Rio de Janeiro at that time. Adélia soon started to perform all around the country, and through an invitation of the Buenos Aires Portuguese Club, made her first performances in Argentina, where she has returned 5 times to successfully tour many of its cities. Returning to Brazil, to give birth to her daughter, she lived there for two years without singing.
She then received an invitation from the Portuguese Government, represented by Mr.Felner da Costa, who at that time was the Director of the Centre of Tourism of Portugal who asked Adélia to sing in her motherland. So, Adélia returned to Portugal, with Joaquim Pimentel, Maria Teresa Quintas and Maria José Vilar. These three singers who were all born in Portugal, had started their careers in Brazil and were highly respected and were known as "A Caravana da Saudade" (The Nostalgic* Caravan). In this first tour, Adélia recorded three albums , one also by Valetim de Carvalho, with the Ferrer Trindade Orchestra and with the best musicians of the time. She also has performed at "Marceneiro", a restaurant at Porto. On returning to Brazil, Adélia, together with Joaquim Pimentel and Terezinha Alves (also a singer and a great friend) became owners of the Adega Lisboa Antiga Restaurant, in São Paulo, and continued to perform around the country and on tv programs. She again returned to Portugal to perform at Sr.Vinho a restaurant owned by the fadista Maria da Fé, and also performed at Malhoa a restaurant owned by fadista Maria Armanda. Adélia also performed at the Casino of Espinho, Figueira da Foz, Póvoa and at Casino Estoril, all of which were considered great successes.
Through her career, Adélia continued to recorded many albums, for Som Livre/Brazil, RCA, Valentim de Carvalho and FF/Portugal and others. In Brazil she was featured in many tv shows, and performed throughout Brazil and in Portugal and Argentina. She also recorded with the Segundo Galarza Orchestra, with songs composed by Manoel Paião and Eduardo Damas, for RCA/Portugal. Later through her career she was one of the owner's of two famous portuguese restaurants, Adega Lisboa Antiga and Abril em Portugal located in São Paulo.
With courage and determinaton since the beginning of her career, and with Fado in her soul, this strong woman has received many prizes and different adjectives from the people and from the press, such as: “the younger and purest look of the Fado”,“little girl from Lisboa Antiga”, “great-small Adélia”, “little princess of Fado”, “trigueirinha (something like a girl tanned by the sun”, “eyes that laugh, mouth that sings and cries”, “small notable”, “true legend of Portuguese music”, among others, that demonstrate the immense charisma of this fadista.
Today, Adélia lives in a small city close to São Paulo, far from the buzz of the metropolis. She continues to sing and enchant the public with her unique interpretation and her beautiful distinctive
voice.
