"The Leningrad Cowboys music has proven to have an incredible hypnotizing effect on the listeners. The male listeners are divided into two groups - those who have listened over 10 times to the song in question and have experienced The Incredible Leningrad Cowboys Show have an immediate need for more Vodka. Those who have not baptised themselves yet in the invigorating Cowboys lifestyle have an immediate need for more Beer. The female listeners have an even more amazing out-of-this-world-experience: They have an immediate need to go cruising with their tractors - but only with those wearing and living the Cowboy lifestyle. Thus Leningrad Cowboys music is extremely good for private parties, but with larger gatherings one should be extremely careful not to play the music too early in the evening. Several so-called music professionals and critics have tried to analyse the music - but have always failed miserably!
Originally created as a label under which another Finnish band, the Sleepy Sleepers, could release their English songs and concert extravaganzas, the joke acquired a life on its own. Since its foundation in the late 1980s, the group has appeared in three films by Aki Kaurismäki (Leningrad Cowboys Go America, Leningrad Cowboys Meet Moses and Total Balalaika Show) and also enjoys some success worldwide. Currently, the band has eleven Cowboys and two Leningrad Ladies. The songs, always somewhat influenced by polka and progressive rock, have themes such as vodka, tractors, rockets and Genghis Khan, not to mention folkloric Russian songs, rock and roll ballads and covers from bands as diverse as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd, all with lots of humour.

Carlos do Carmo - AO VIVO NO OLYMPIA (1980)
A Voz do Fado no masculino na mítica sala Parisiense cantando Ary dos Santos, Paulo de Carvalho, Fernando Tordo, Francisco Viana, José Luis Tinoco, José Afonso."The son of fado (Portuguese folk songs) singer and nightclub owner, Lucilia Do Carmo, Carlos Do Carmo (born: Carlos Manuel de Ascencao Almeida) has established his own reputation as a passionate singer of Portuguese folk songs. Although he dreamed of joining the merchant marines, becoming a lawyer and managing a hotel in Switzerland, Do Carmo joined his mother to run her club, the Adega De Lucilia, later renamed the Faia, following his father's death in 1962. Encouraged by his friends' response to his singing, Do Carmo soon began to perform at the club. While fado remains at the core of his music, Do Carmo has used Frank Sinatra-style pop balladry and Brazilian bossa nova to give his music its distinct flavor. His hits include "Barro Alto/High Quarter", "Gaivota/Gull", "Canoas Do Tejo/Canoes Of The Tejo", "Os Putos/The Putos", "Lisboa Menina/Lisbon Girl", "Moca/Young Women" and Estrela Da Tarde/Star Of The Afternoon."

Amália Rodrigues - COMPILAÇÃO (2006)
Compilação de temas dos albúns Asas Fechadas (1962), Vou Dar De Beber À Dor (1969), Com Que Voz (1970)Portuguese singer Amália Rodrigues possesses one of the most dynamic, emotionally honest voices in the world of music. The 1987 set Com Que Voz presents her in a near-perfect setting, with simply a pair of guitars to nimbly frame her tales of love lost and general tragedy (thankfully, the lyrics are printed in English as well). Her intonation and delivery may strike the new listener as just a bit strange, but her performances are excellent. The nimble guitar playing on "Maria Lisboa" makes it one of the highlights. John Bush
NB: the tracks missing in this 3 rar files, are already on yesterday post - Amália's "Best Off". We hope you love the Queen of Fado.

Amália Rodrigues - ESTRANHA FORMA DE VIDA (1995)
A voz de Portugal numa compilação que mostra uma parte do melhor de Amália.
"The unrivaled queen of the Portuguese fado, singer Amália Rodrigues was born in Lisbon's Alfama district in 1920; one of ten children, she was abandoned by her mother at the age of one and raised by her grandmother, spending her formative years selling produce on the streets and working as a seamstress. Against the wishes of her family, as a teen Rodrigues performed as a tango dancer, and at 19 she made her professional singing debut alongside her sister, Celeste, at the fashionable Lisbon nightspot Retiro da Severa. Within a year she was a star, selling out clubs every night; in 1944, she traveled to Brazil, drawing huge crowds during her stay at the Copacabana Casino and later returning to Rio de Janeiro to make her first recordings. Rodrigues not only popularized the fado throughout South America, she reinvented it — brilliantly fusing the urban and rural styles of Lisbon and Coimbra, she also sought out material that moved far beyond the traditional tales of failed romance to explore instead the deepest crises of the soul and spirit, delivering performances unmatched in their fatalistic power and haunting beauty. Because Rodrigues' manager, José de Melo, believed her native fans would stop attending her live appearances if they could buy her recordings, she did not enter a Portuguese recording studio until 1951, issuing a handful of sides on the Melodia label before moving to the Valentim de Carvalho imprint the following year. In the wake of World War II she began touring outside of South America, and scored an international hit in 1956 with "Coimbra," recorded live at Paris' Olympia Theatre. In all, Rodrigues recorded upwards of 170 albums and even appeared in a number of feature films, retaining her drawing power even after the popularity of fado itself began to dissipate during the 1960s. She continued touring well past her 70th birthday, entering retirement only after undergoing surgery; she spent the final years of her life as a recluse, making her final public appearance at the opening of Lisbon's Expo in 1998. Rodrigues died October 6, 1999, at the age of 79; upon receiving news of her passing, Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Guterres ordered three days of national mourning, declaring her "the Voice of Portugal".
