Synopsis

Album Description

Miraculous & mysterious, stirring & poetic, attractive & luminous... such is Misia, an exceptional fado singer who, since her first album release under Detour label, Garras Dos Sentidos, then followed by her passage at the Olympia in October 1998 & January 1999 (14th & 15th of January), has imposed herself as an essential figure of the international musical scene. 'Canto' is an original & ambitious project, resulting from the meeting of different artistic languages, inspired by the Portuguese composer Carlos Paredes. 13 tracks. Warner. 2003.

CD Reviews

Canto by Misia

Sain Alizada | Samsun, Turkey | 08/30/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is one my most favorite fado records. Canto is another one of Misia's experiments with instrumentation and commissioning lyrics by contemporary poets. Almost all songs, except for the last instrumental track Balada de Coimbra by Jose Eliseu, are composed by the Portuguese guitar legend Carlos Paredes. Enigmatic as any other fado record, these melancholic chants

stand out for the extraordinary vocals and wonderful instrumental arrangement. Jose Manuel Neto does a perfect job on the Portuguese guitar and string quartet from the Camerate

de Bourgogne makes a heart-breaking gem of Balada de Coimbra. Misia is at her best at Ah Nao II, and Tia Minha Gentil is just like sitting in a restaurant at Cais da Ribeira in Porto with a bottle of port and bacalhau, pondering about fatalism and exquisite frustration about thwarted love and matters that cannot ever be changed...
