At the time of the cicada and ant history, singing was not a profession. People sang to earn a living in the lives of the poor. Even so, poor as she was, Amália-Menina was not like Cicada who started to earn a living. Whoever sings so well, teaches how to sing too. That’s why we came to sing Mourarias e Casa da Mariquinhas and Formiga Bossa Nova who also wanted to be Cicada. So here we are the three: an Amália-Catarina, an Amália-Celina and a Sara-Amália, too. So here you are: to learn the songs that Amalia, which was embroiderer girl and woman fado singer. So well that she sang!
