Yolanda Soares MusicBox – Fado em Concerto (Fado in Concert) Contemporary Tradition




FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 18, 2011 -- Launched in 2006 by Universal Portugal, Yolanda Soares’ project is the only one in Portugal to concisely and definitively combine Fado with Classical music reflecting influences from the great composers such as Vivaldi, Bach, Händel and Ravel, with a modern ‘twist’.
Yolanda’s project is a carefully crafted production that has received fantastic reviews both in Portugal and abroad.

The project is a tribute by the crossover singer Yolanda Soares to Fado and her home country, Portugal, and it was in the limelight on the TV show ‘Marcas e Patentes’ where it was praised for its originality, innovative style, and presentational excellence. Through ‘Fado em Concerto’, Yolanda Soares was nominated for the 2006 Golden Globes as a ‘Revelation Artist’, received the emblem for excellence from an Australian music magazine A’R, and delivered a number of meticulous performances for prestigious events including for ‘Dia de Portugal, de Camões e das Comunidades’ as a result of a special invitation from the Portuguese President Cavaco Silva. The work is primarily based on Fados by Amália, and was recorded in the Czech Republic with a full orchestra, choir and the guest appearance of the harpsichord as an accompanying instrument on select tracks. The guitar, traditionally the instrument of choice to accompany Fados, plays the role of a soloist providing new opportunities for approaching this instrument and it’s music.

It shows new paths for Portuguese music, where Fado inspires and spreads through a totally different musical universe such as that of Classical music. This is why Yolanda decided, in her first project (in 2006) to present herself as a Lusitanian singer with a diversity of influences.
