Release Notes:
The band's founding members were Pedro Ayres
Magalhπes (Classical guitar), Rodrigo Leπo
(keyboard synthesizer), Francisco Ribeiro (cello),
Gabriel Gomes (accordion) and Teresa Salgueiro
(vocals). Magalhπes and Leπo formed the band in
1985, Ribeiro and Gomes joined in 1986. They'd been
searching for a female singer, and found Teresa
Salgueiro in one of Lisbon's night clubs. Teresa
liked their music and agreed to join, so in 1987
Madredeus recorded their first album, Os dias da
Madredeus.
The first album was recorded in their rehearsal
space, a disused abbey in Lisbon. The recording was
especially strenuous due to deafening interruptions
every 5 minutes from Lisbon's tram service, which
ran directly above. In honour of this unavoidable
presence in their every performance, they named
themselves after the line's nearby terminus, Madre
de Deus (Mother of God), shortened to the
vernacular Madredeus.
In 1993, Pedro Ayres Magalhπes left the band
temporarily and was replaced in live concerts by
JosΘ Peixoto (Classical guitar). Magalhπes rejoined
the group later, making it a sextet with two
guitarists.
They released several albums and became very
popular in Portugal, but remained relatively
unknown outside the country. This changed in 1994
when Wim Wenders, impressed by their music, asked
Madredeus to perform in his movie Lisbon Story -
the soundtrack gave the band international fame.
Thanks to that, Madredeus spread their wings to the
world and conquered fans from all over Europe,
South America, Africa and Asia.
In 1994 Rodrigo Leπo left the band to start a solo
career, being replaced by Carlos Maria Trindade
(keyboard synthesizer).
In 1997 Francisco Ribeiro and Gabriel Gomes left
the band as Madredeus' style started abandoning its
fado roots with the release of O Paraφso. At this
time Fernando J·dice (Acoustic bass guitar) was
invited to join them, to form the current lineup,
again a quintet. Madredeus has sold over 3 million
albums worldwide.
In November 2007 Teresa Salgueiro announced she had
left Madredeus.
In 2008 Madredeus are back with a new line up and a
new album, double, featuring new songs on CD1 and
some classics on CD2.
