Rua da Saudade

Rua da Saudade, released in November 2009 and produced by Renato Jr., is an album that recalls the work of Ary dos Santos, 25 years after his death. With 11 songs written by Fernando Tordo, Nuno Nazareth Fernandes and Tózé Brito, appear to give voice to original lyrics by Ary dos Santos, Susana Félix together with Mafalda Arnauth, Viviane and Luanda Cozetti.

Reception
The album was well-received from critics. DiscoDigital gave a positive review: " "Rua da Sausade" forms a triangle with virtual 'Humano' and 'Amalia Hoje'. All different in approach, all equal in how they communicate in the most recent generations fundamental references of Portuguese culture.

Rua da Saudade part of an idea of Ary dos Santos to join four female voices - Viviane, Susana Félix, Mafalda Arnauth and Luanda Cozzeti - to honor Ary dos Santos, in the year they are 25 springs on his death.

If the idea is generous, the result is debatable. Of the four singers, but no compromises are Susana Felix and Mafalda Arnauth, this bright outside the scope of fate, clearly at home in time to swim out standing, who shines most. The arrangements often distance themselves from the original but rarely go beyond the average (which is different from the median): sober, it is a fact, but without wing coup.

If Ary dos Santos was a man ahead of his time, why a disk so conservative? Not that the poet's words are lost in space and time but the (re)discovery of a personality as bold deserved a little more daring. Wordpress also gave a positive review.
