contemporary fado
MÃsia has been recording albums that take a modern-day approach to Portugal’s blues for almost fifteen years now, and on this — her eighth album — she adds elements of bolero and tango to bring some welcome variety to this most stirring of styles.
The songs are based around the usual components of the genre — Portugese guitar, bass, acoustic guitar and occasional piano — with the odd violin and viola flourish added for extra effect. MÃsia has a deeper, more sensual vocal style than her more celebrated counterpart, bringing an intimacy to a very personal set of songs, one that is both a tribute to her mother and a reflection of her own melancholy concerns about love and loss.
