Misia is one of the leading exponents of a traditional Portuguese music form known as fado. Despite her small frame, her voice is incredibly strong and rich, and her musicians outstanding (typically consisting a a guitar trio and piano accordion, with violin and piano on some tracks). If you don't know much about fado, or have any concerns about buying a CD which is after all, all in Portuguese, have no fear - this is musical artistry which transcends language and style. Anyone who loves the great vocalists of jazz and blues, or just has a hankering for the warmth and pathos of Mediterranean music

Those unfamiliar with fado--that exquisitely mournful strain of balladry that is to Portugal what tango is to Argentina and flamenco is to Spain--will probably want to acquaint themselves more intimately with the genre after hearing Mariza's gorgeous album Fado Curvo. Following up on her 2001 debut, Fado em Mim, which catapulted the young singer from Lisbon to a pinnacle of worldwide critical and popular acclaim, Fado Curvo will delight fado aficionados and novices alike. The album showcases Mariza's startling vocal agility—almost operatic in its power and range on songs like "O Silencio de Guitarra" and "Calaleiro Monge," and yet playful on the title song and starkly expressive on "Retrato." The music, like Mariza's debut, is gorgeous-the chiming 12-string Portuguese guitar and acoustic guitar are enough to transport the listener to a smoke-filled Lisbon tavern. But the real joy of Fado Curvo is that it's a more personal and distinctive album than its predecessor. The production, this time by Carlos Maria Trindade, breathes more organically, with surprising touches like the muted trumpet on "O Deserto" and the stark cello and piano accompaniment of "Retrato." Meanwhile, Mariza herself, singing a collection of beautiful Portuguese poetry, sounds even more as if she is baring her own soul on songs like "Vielas de Alfama" and "Primavera," making this forward-thinking album both an excellent document of modern fado and a sign that bodes well for the world's next great fadista.

A Stunning Collection of Previously Unreleased Material Recorded in the 10-year Period Between 1967 and 1975, 'segredo' Ranks High Among Amalia's Recording Output. The Album Brings Together a Number of Recordings that for Some Reason Or Other Ended Up Not Being Released at the Time.

Another first rate Madredeus album full of beautiful guitarwork and stunning vocals from Teresa Salgueiro. This is up there with some of their best and certainly more consistent than some of their recent efforts.
If you are unfamiliar with this group, they are a traditional Portuguese group who play fado music with a modern slant. It is essentially a mix of folk and opera. The tone is often quite melancholy but in a good way and all the musicians are very accomplished, in particular Teresa, whose voice is simply one of the finest female voices in the world.

Standing out amid a very strong crop of young new fado singers, Mozambique-born Mariza returns with Transparente, her third album. While her second, Fado Curvo, announced her as a great new voice on the scene, this one reaffirms that flowering promise while expanding the depth of her range. She gets help from great Brazilian cellist, arranger and producer Jacques Morelenbaum, who adds a lush orchestral backdrop to this folksy torch song form, extending the bittersweet melodies even though it does file away some of the edges. No matter, the singer's phrasing and timing are calibrated for drama, and her voice soars with happiness or quivers with passion. Highlights include a panoramic version of the fado traditional "O Silencio da Guitarra" and a small group rendering of "Recusa." Her moving away from the tradition may trouble purist, but this album endears itself easily if given a listen.

Misia seemed destined from birth for a career in the arts. The need for creative expression is in her blood, inherited from her grandmother, a former music-hall entertainer, and her mother, a ballerina. Born in Oporto, Portugal, Misia experimented with different musical forms early on, but it was the allure of the fado, a Portuguese word meaning "fate", which captured her heart. A combination of a dramatic visual style, a mournful voice, and lyrics composed by some of today's most renowned Portuguese poets, including Nobel laureate Jose Saramago has made Misia one of Portugal's most respected artists.
