Hit: 5 Stars
I am truly in love with Mafalda, so my review can hardly be objective. Her voice puts her audience under her spell. I picked this cd up and took home with me. After listening to it, I decided to look her up on the internet. To my surprise she was on an European tour and the next week I saw her live. I have to say that there have been very few concerts that made such a deep impression on me, so breathtaking was her appearance. I have seen her perform afterwards when her cd Diario was released, which I also highly recommend.
Every time it astonishes me how she uses her voice to create an intimate atmosphere and captivates her audience. To me she is the best Fado singer today, althought I like to listen to Mariza or Carla Pires as well. My knowlegde of the Portuguese language is, alas, very flimsy but these ladies use a musical language that is universally understood.
The only downside to this cd is the protection, because on my MP3 player or pc all the songs have wrecked beginnings.
Encantamento Poster
Singer Mafalda Arnauth is another enchanting princess to follow in the footsteps of fado queen Am?lia Rodrigues. Not as deep and operatic as Mariza, or as wistfully sensual as Cristina Branco, Arnauth's rich passionate voice falls somewhere in-between the two. Making her U.S. debut with Encantamento, her third album overall, Arnauth gracefully works through traditional material ably supported by Jos? Elmiro Nunes on Portuguese guitar, Luis Oliveira on classical guitar and Jo?o Penedo on upright bass. She steps outside the fado tradition of using poetry for lyrics to write nine of the 15 songs, mostly in collaboration with Oliveira. Some of the originals are in the strict fado tradition of fate and tragedy, while others deviate into other thematic territory, and "Fado Arnauth" even has some interesting folk accents and a pop music sensibility. Arnauth also produces Encantamento, leaving no doubt that this fadista is a true keeper of the flame, and a singer who'll bring the music deep into the 21st century. --Tad HendricksonInternational Music CDs
