Personality of the Week
João Maria dos Anjos

21 March, 1891

He always refused to sign a contract, never abandoning his condition of amateur. A socialist spirit, João Maria dos Anjos was "essentially a poet, who was fond of chanting love and received frequent requests to perform at popular feasts, although he also sang at aristocratic settings, namely at the houses of the Counts of Guarda, Ribeira Grande and Arrochela."(cf. Eduardo Sucena, “Lisboa, o Fado e os Fadistas”, p.61).
