Deolinda is an acoustic Portuguese “neofado” group, whose music often deals with social and political commentary. Founded in 2006, their first album was released in 2008, which went double platinum. Their second was in the top ten in Portugal for over fifteen weeks. They have toured the United States, Canada and Europe and have played at festivals such as the World Music Expo and the Festival Internacional Cervantino. ==History== Deolinda was founded in 2006〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Four Quarters Entertainment )〕 as an acoustic group named after a fictional young women, who loves fado and comments on contemporary Portugal. Singer Ana Bacalhau states that she is “the sum of our four personalities.” The group has four members, singer Ana Bacalhau, brothers (and Ana’s cousins) Pedro da Silva Martins and Luis José Martins, and Ana’s husband José Pedro Leitao. All four has been involved in various musical activities before Deolinda. Ana Bacalhau (literally, Ana Salted Cod) was a fado-jazz punker in a band called ''Lupanar'' (2001-2006) before Deolinda, which was much more macabre and cutting.〔 Luis José Martin (guitar, ukulele, viola, Portuguese cavaco and guitarlele) is conservatory trained, and double bass player Pedro Leitão (meaning Suckling Pig), has a classical and jazz background.〔〔 The ensemble’s origin is over a dinner between Ana and her cousins, discussing the idea of collaborating. They stated they pulled out their instruments and found they had an unspoken “chemistry.” Soon after they added bass player Leitao, who is now Bacalhau’s husband.〔〔 They quickly became popular in clubs,〔 with a reputation gained by word-of-mouth, attracting attention from record labels by 2007.〔 Their debut album ''Cancao Ao Lado'' (2008) went double-platinum in Portugal with shows beginning to sell out.〔 The album remained one of the most popular in Portugal for over two years. Their second album, ''Dois Selos E Um Carimbo'' (2010) was in the top ten in the country for fifteen weeks after it came out.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deolinda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
