"A Monte" is the fourth solo-album by Amélia Muge who is normally included under the heading "New Fado" or "Fado Fusion", but moves beyond these definitions with her very personal Portuguese music. She was born in Mozambique and this gives her art a more global and less national view. Backed by guitar, bagpipe, reeds, accordeon, percussion and some brilliant electronics, she has based her career on musically interpreting the work of famous poets, including nobel-prize winner José Saramago, Fernando Pessoa, the Brasilian Carlos Drummond de Andrade and many others. Since 1984 Amélia Muge has lived in Portugal
