"To Persevere is to achieve" - Anonymous
And another year is gone! Time passes ever faster. Happy New Year my friends!
Well, again, like last year, we will make a brief summary of our achievements of 2008. Our blog now has more than 23,300 visits from 69 countries: Brazil, Portugal, France, USA, UK, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, Italy, Hungary, Argentina, Netherlands, Belgium, Romania, Russia, Poland , Japan, Austria, Chile, Australia, Norway, Finland, Venezuela, Israel, India, Luxembourg, Mexico, Sweden, Czech Republic, Greece, South Africa, Morocco, New Zealand, Angola, China, Algeria, Turkey, Egypt, Andorra , Colombia, Qatar, Bahrain, Belgium, Croatia, Indonesia, Kuwait, Slovenia, Pakistan, Thailand, Estonia, Togo, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Guam, Slovakia, Albania, Denmark, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Serbia, Ireland, Peru, Uruguay, Oman, Mauritius, Montenegro and Singapore. More than 17,000 visits in 2008!
Today, only on You Tube, 87 videos, with more than 144,200 exhibits. The "champion" of the videos is still the song "É Natal", and the most commented (and thank God, always well commented) is "Rosa Enjeitada." Adélia was honored in Brazil, Portugal and Switzerland. Her story is told and her voice is heard on blogs, websites and radio stations in Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Argentina, France, Switzerland, among other countries. Messages arrive from all the world, as well as requests for records and concerts. And the most important, friends, many friends. We are making new friends and rediscovering old friendships . Internet is a wonderful thing when used well, of course.
As I said last year, those numbers for a blog that is done at home, without sponsorship and teams of disclosure, and that speaks of an artist immigrant, are not just numbers, are demonstrations of the immense artistic potential of Adélia, her charisma and the love from her public around the world.
We hope in 2009 we can organize the calendar of shows and record the new CD. And for that, we count on you, friends, fans, record labels and entrepreneurs.
The repertoire is mostly assembled, but we left 1 or 2 bands that will be chosen by the public. When you open the blog, also opens up another window, where you will find a form. Tell us what you would like to hear in the voice of our dear Adélia. We are on the way to produce the CD, and we are accepting applications from record labels and companies interested in sponsoring, disseminating and marketing the art of our dear and wonderful fadista. If we have no record label, or other form of support, yet, in an independent way, the CD comes out this year. With label, no label, with or without sponsorship, our beloved public will have what is expected, Adélia Pedrosa, her voice and touching interpretation with folklore songs and beautiful fados unpublished yet, with the quality that has always permeated her work.
Thanks to everyone for the support, the affection, the messages. You are the reason for the existence of this work, done with much, much love. Thanks to all broadcasters in Rio de Janeiro, Santos, finally, Brazil, Portugal, Switzerland and many other places, all who have supported us and that, with so much affection released Adélia Pedrosa songs. Thank you, thank you very much. We count on you in 2009!

Many people asked us about the cover of the single "O Meu Menino Jesus". Well, the picture was produced and made by myself. The shawl was Adélia who did it and the beautiful sculpture of Our Lady with the infant Jesus, is art of Francisco Tavares, brother of our dear friend Antonio Tavares. A beautiful work that we are very happy to share with you. I am happy that you liked it because, as everything we do, there is too much love on the cover.And, speaking of Antonio Tavares, next 06 January, the day of Kings, is also his birthday. Congratulations dear friend. We miss you. We wish you much peace, bright, great strength, health, love and that God always be with you. You're always in our thoughts and prayers. Also on the 6th, the birthday of our dear Silvia Reis, friend-sister of Adélia, godmother of my heart, and after a holiday in the United States with her family, is back to the wonderful city, and will soon be here with us. Congratulations! Health, love, peace and prosperity. We love you so much.
Finally, let ´s go! One more beautiful year to come. Love to all and very, very happy 2009!
