Ces Voix du Portugal dévoilent une image étonnante des traditions musicales du Portugal contemporain où coexistent des musiques rurales très anciennes, le fado, et un large éventail de musiques populaires urbaines. En toile de fond : les phénomènes sociaux qui caractérisent la vie musicale portugaise du Xxe siècle et les événements qui ont marqué la vie culturelle et la condition des artistes avant et après la révolution des Oeillets. L'auteur décrit aussi les festas religieuses et profanes, les festivals de musique " folklorique " et les séances de fado, en évoquant les grandes figures de compositeurs et d'interprètes comme Amalia Rodrigues, Alfredo Marceneiro et José Afonso. Le disque réunit une sélection des chants traditionnels ainsi que des morceaux d'anthologie du fado de Lisbonne et de Coimbra (avec les voix légendaires d'Amalia Rodrigues et d'Antonio Menano), de la chanson engagée, et de nouveaux groupes de musique urbaine comme Madredeus. Cet ouvrage a été publié à l'occasion du spectacle " Le Portugal, racines rurales, passions urbaines " créé en mai 1997, et coproduit par la cité de la musique et le Teatro Nacional Sao Joao de Porto.

Colvin studies the evolution of Fado music as the soundtrack to the Portuguese talkie. He analyzes the most successful Portuguese films of the first two decades of the Estado Novo era to understand how directors used the national song to promote the values of the young Regime regarding the poor inhabitants of Lisbon's popular neighborhoods. He consides the aesthetic, technological, and social advances that accompany the progress of the Estado Novo---Futurism; the development of sound film; the inception of national radio broadcast; access to the automobile; and urban renewal---within a historical context that considers Portugal's global profile at the time of António de Oliveira Salazar's rise to power and the inauguration of António Ferro's Secretariado da Propaganda Nacional [Ministry of National Propaganda]; Portugal's role as a secret ally of the Falange during the Spanish Civil War; Lisbon's role as a neutral refuge during World War II; and the Portuguese Colonial Empire as an anachronism in the post-World War II years.
Colvin argues that Portuguese directors have exploited the growing popularity of the Fado and Lisbon's fadistas to dissuade citizens from alien values that promote individual ambitions and the notion of an easy life of poverty in the Capital. As the public image of the Fado evolves, the fadista's role in film becomes more prominent and eventually,the fadista is the protagonist and the Fado, the principal concern of national film. The author exposes the irony that as the social profile of the Lisbon fadista improves with the international fame of singer Amália Rodrigues, Portuguese film perpetuates and validates the outdated characterization of the fadista as a social pariah that Leito de Barros had proposed in the first Portuguese talkie, A Severa (1931).

Michael Colvin is Associate Professor of Hispanic Studies at Marymount Manhattan College.
