AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This music CD, presented in a standard jewel case, offers a compilation titled FADO 1950-1999. Its cover features an urban night scene, typical of Lisbon's historic districts, with illuminated signs and a warm, lively street atmosphere. On the cover, vertical signs, including "ASEVERA" and "MACHADO", evoke the authentic atmosphere of Portuguese Fado houses.

At the bottom right of the cover is the mention "SÉLECTION GÉOMUSIQUE GEO", as well as the logo of the famous GEO magazine, indicating a special edition produced in partnership with GEO and the publisher Frémeaux & Associés. The lower left corner bears the "Strauss" logo, likely the printer or a production partner. The overall design uses warm tones – dominant reds, yellows, and dark shades – reminiscent of the intimacy of fado concerts.

The visible side of the item only shows the front cover, inserted in a clear plastic case. No details about the back or the content of the booklet are visible. The main title "FADO 1950-1999" is clearly legible, printed in white and yellow capital letters. The ensemble suggests a compilation covering half a century of fado history, from the 1950s to the end of the 20th century.

The packaging complies with the standards for audio CDs released between the late 1990s and early 2000s. The item appears in good visual condition in the photo, with no scratches or major visible defects on the front of the case. No other elements (booklet, inner CD, tracklist) are observable in this image.

This CD is intended for anyone looking for a fado anthology, published under the Frémeaux & Associés label, known for its world music selections and reference editions. The mention "Sélection Géomusique" highlights the carefully curated editorial nature of this release.

Did you know? Fado is an emblematic musical genre of Portugal, inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list since 2011. Its origins date back to the early 19th century, but it gained international recognition from the 1950s onwards, notably thanks to artists like Amália Rodrigues.
