errors with Winamp Amália Rodrigues's Biography
 

Hello everybody!

My name is Catarina and I am portuguese.
I found some errors :( in the Amália Rodrigues's Biography provided by Winamp (at http://info.winamp.com/winamp/artist...0&template=yes).

Some of the mistakes are corrected below:
- She was one of nine children, not ten;
- As a teen Rodrigues performed as fado singer, singing "Fado de Alcântara" in 1935 (she was born in 1920) and at a voluntary service party. She was never known as a tango dancer (??!!) :weird: like stated in the Amália Rodrigues's Biography provided by Winamp;
- In the same text is stated the following "brilliantly fusing the urban and rural styles of Lisbon and Coimbra". The fado style from Lisbon is a popular one and that is different from being urban. Coimbra is also a city since a long time (more than 3 centuries) and Coimbra fado's style is not rural. It is an academic one, because it was mostly sang (and still is) by the university students since a long time (count centuries).

The true Amália Rodrigues's Biography can be found at the Camões foundation (supported by the Portuguese republic) at http://www.instituto-camoes.pt/bases.../biografia.htm

PS: even if you can not directly understand Portuguese you can always found a translation elsewhere.

Tchau

Thank you Spaceplay. I have done it.

I wouldn't hold my breath for it to be fixed however.

I don't expect a miracle also, knowing that there are other matters that are more desperate in need of fixing.

But you won't hit anything if you don't shoot. so no harm in trying.
