Cristina Branco

Alegria

Description

Alegria. Or the 2 faces of fado, between joy and melancholy. Cristina Branco returns with a concept album, poignant, personal, like a commitment. In twelve musical portraits written and composed by the cream of contemporary Portuguese authors, Alegria only puts people's lives in perspective through poetry. They speak to us: twelve characters with whom we can continually identify. There are borrowings ("Construction" by Chico Buarque, "Alice in Babyfoot Land" by Sérgio Godinho and "Cherokee Louise" by Joni Mitchell), and also characters invented by Cristina Branco. This is not a record about hope, but it does not reject its possibility. It is a record that seeks the truth so that it can be the beginning of a path that may lead to a better world.
