Fado Fantastico

"The musical genre of Fado -- the Porteguese "blues" -- is not well-known in the states. But Misia may single-handledly change that. This CD continues in the same vein as her last CD, but with an added flair. Her voice is amazing, the songs are aching -- Misia is in a class of her own in terms of truly innovative world music. It's a gem!"

"Misia is a new name for us. This was a featured album at a local music store which allowed us the listening pleasure of Misia and her entire album before purchasing. The fado's are incredible; like nothing we've ever heard before.Misia's haunting, soul-piercing yet angelic voice is only comparable (in our humble opinion) to Enya and Sarah Brightman.The Porteguese guitar is a perfect accompaniment with sheer perfection presented in the combination of fado's and diagonal lines drawn by the artists. We couldn't understand a word she sings and didn't know what language she was singing but we love every song on the album. We jumped at the chance to add it to our 5-star collection of CD's."
