Canada - Mirateca Arts Management (MAM) signed an exclusive Canadian deal with Portugal's "New Generation" fado singer, Joana Amendoeira.

Principal Manager, Terry Costa, is excited that the company will be representing the youngest professional fado singer in world music today. "Joana is a beauty beyond all senses," says Costa. "Her voice lifts spirits from the traditional classic fado. We are thrilled to be working with her Portugal team to insure success, not only embraced by the Portuguese-Canadian community but Canadians at large."

The Canadian deal comes attached to a CD launch and distribution across the vast land of Canada. Joana Amendoeira's fourth CD, with Portugal release in the autumn 2006, will be followed by the Canadian release launch. Also, a major promotional campaign, one of the largest for a Portuguese artist in Canada, will ensure Joana Amendoeira becomes a house-hold name for world music in Canada.

Mirateca Arts Management tour-plans for Joana Amendoeira are underway and the company welcomes any presenters for additional concerts in the 2007 year. Portugal's fado music will be at the forefront of Canada's world music communities with Joana Amendoeira.
