WHERE THE HOKEY POKEY "IS" WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

This is a song played by Madredeus

Posted about 1 year ago

This song is performed by Madredeus and although the lyrics are from José Afonso or Zeca Afonso you can taste a little of their sound.

The voice of Teresa Salgueiro is a real national treasour.

    Nice tune that.

    The instrumentation reminds me of another Portuguese group called V Imperio

    She certainly has a beautiful voice!  Nicely colored in the lower range, clear and airy in the upper range.  Aside from guitars, is there some type of  a squeeze box in there?  Is there a hammered dulcimer (cimbalom)?

    ok, V Império it's a nice band but it's a little more pop music and doesn't have this mistical sound. Madredeus it's like a mixture of Fado with popular music but with this magical touch of the guitar, Pedro Ayres Magalhaes it's a genius playing.

    I forgott to tell the name of this track "Maio maduro maio" it's the first music from the 2nd cd of "Filhos da Madrugada cantam José Afonso"
