WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT MÍSIA

» PATRICE LECONTE, Film director

Mísia's hair trim, her fringe, is rather graphical. She also has gestures. Postures. Blacks and whites. Angles and curves. Fine and thick tines. This is why more than singing the Fado she actually designs the Fado.



» ANTHONY MINGHELLA, Film director

Mísia is the angel of regret.



» GILBERT & GEORGE, Plastic artists

She is really a very special woman! Her fados are the most emotional music we have listened without even understanding a single word. She dares to listen to her body and creates beauty from the most extreme situations. She is an authentic artist.



» WILLIAM CHRISTIE, Conductor

Mísia is one of my favourite singer.



» UTE LEMPER, Singer

When Mísia sings we are transported to an universe of theatrical passion and emotional deepness.



» BILL T. JONES, Dancer & choreographer

Mísia is one of the most avant-garde and charismatic fado singers of our time.



» EDUARDO PRADO COELHO, Essayist

Only those capable of hearing the voice emerging from the throats worn by flame, only those capable of following the nocturnal pace of an unusually intelligent enunciation - in recognizing the verbal textures and the consumed emotions that gather within - may come to understand that sharpest pain hardly ever derives from open wounds. Mísia relates to Fado in a way that reaches the 'mystical' - and it is almost scaring.

CONCERT PROGRAMM






PRESS QUOTES

Mísia drawing tears in any language.

» New York Times


Her vocal artistry is faithful to the tradition - delicately nuanced with power achieved through dramatic softening and hardenings of tune - but her instrumentation draws on a broader harmony of effects.

» BBC Music Magazine


Many countries sing it - rembetika in Greece, morna in Capo Verde, the blues in the United States. But the essence of the Portuguese equivalent - fado (fate) is somehow even more elusive than other music that takes singular pleasures in expressing pain. Enter Misia. Selfnamed from one of Post-Impressionist painter Pierre Bonnard's favourite model, with performances stylized in a manner reminiscent of Japanese Noh theatre - Misia adds a new layer to the fado mystery.
