This group is called Deolinda, which is a very typical, yet old-fashioned, female name in Portugal. The group tried to recreate a modern and urban (suburban, actually) concept of the traditional Portuguese song fado, with an inch of humor. Although you probably won’t understand what the singer is saying, I hope you can capture the freshness […]

Why Mika isn’t really Lebanese…
August 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Mika est de mere Libanaise, il est la fierte de notre pays parce que pour les jeunes il est l’incarnation du Liban moderne.
Une soiree inoubliable, un concert monte en plein centre ville, auquel plus de 15 mille personnes ont assiste.

She sings songs such as ”Omul Bun n-are noroc” (The good have no luck) and “Superata sint pe lume” (I am sad in this world), though in the tradition of sorrowful female singers there’s something very distinctive about the soul […]
