[2004] [Portugal]
In the 80s there was this Portuguese artist called António Variações who changed the Portuguese pop music scene like no one had before. He was flamboyant, he accessorised; he liked electro but also fado and traditional music and he became a great song maker. He released music from 1982 until he died in 1984.
In 2004, a tape was passed on with songs that António Variações had never released.
To release them the band Humanos was created. Humanos are fronted by Manuela Azevedo from Clã, Camané (proeminent fado singer), and David Fonseca (singer/songwriter).
The album is absolutely magnificent and captures the spirit of Variações in a such way that some of the songs give you goose bumps.
This is one of the most popular tracks of the album, 'Maria Albertina', about this woman who has a traditional name and wants to give a tacky modern name to her daughter.
