Advantages: Maturity in her voice Disadvantages: Copy Controlled CD- can't put it on your MP3 unless you download it
...I own "Fado em mim, Fado Curvo, transparente & Conncerto em Lisboa" all four of them are amazing!!!! I also own the 2 DVD's- Concerto em Lisboa and live in London.
This is some of the best music I have ever heard!
Sung 200% from her heart! ...
Advantages: Fantastic 2nd Album Disadvantages: Can't Copy CD onto computer
...the youngest talented stars of Fado and she is to certain extent developing the art in her own fashion. But make no mistake, her performance of this music renders a well seasoned maturity in the art. Her voice simply sends shudders down my spine. I bought "Fado Curvo" after hearing her first album- 'Fado em mim'.
Her fabulous, earthy voice is beautifully set off by settings that vary from traditional to innovative. The haunting "Menino do Bairro ...
Advantages: Sumptuous arrangments and the voice of Marisa Monte. Disadvantages: 'Rose & Charcoal' is a better album.
I first remember hearing this album on a warm steamy tropical afternoon in 2003 whilst swinging in a hammock beside a riverbank. I'd kind of forgotten I still had the CD and have only recently started playing it again after rediscovering it at he bottom of my CD collection. It is all to easy to place Marisa Monte's music into the category of MPB (Música Popular Brasileira - Brazilian Popular Music) - a type of urban popular music that emerged in ... ...and Gal Costa. MPB evolved from the Bossa Nova period that dominated the 1960s and the subsequent 'Tropicália' movement led by Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. Like European and North American pop music, MPB combines many influences derived from contemporary folk and rock, but often borrows heavily from traditional Brazilian Samba styles. Marisa Monte comes from a classical music background having studied to be an opera singer in early adolescence ...
Advantages: Exciting; unique; passionate; challenging Disadvantages: Well, it's in Polish, so some may find that a disadvantage...
In recent years, the little-known Warsaw Village Band have risen from obscurity to earn some much deserved recognition, playing several high-profile festivals including Glastonbury 09, and even clinching the Best Newcomer award at the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards in 2004. 'Uprooting' is a fine example of the band's capability, and also of their potential to grow and continue.
Comprising six young musicians from Poland's capital, the band blend ... ...passionate and hypnotising set of tracks which should be essential listening for any music fan.
I had the honour of first hearing the band when they performed at Musicport Festival 2008, a very surreal experience indeed as they were supporting Rolf Harris! Their set consisted of many of the tracks from 'Uprooting'.
The performance put on by the band was both aurally and visually stunning, in part due to their incorporation in their music of many ...
Advantages: incredibly underrated music very well produced and presented Disadvantages: none
...Devotion’ James Young's Joanna was made on the battered upright piano in his house - an instrument most pianists would reject without a moment's hesitation. Bad pianos - in pubs, bars, clubs, cafes and the parental home - are the bane of musicians and music teachers: the sustain pedal doesn't work; the felts are worn; mezzopiano is indistinguishable from fortissimo. And that's before you get on to the problem of keeping it in tune. Players develop ... ...wisdom on its head. Joanna is a hymn of devotion that both dignifies and delights in his old piano's imperfections. As Billy Jenkins wrote in Notes on Crap Pianos: "Years of warp and deterioration have ripened each mechanical artefact into its own unique sound. Do not attempt music scored for a good piano." Young describes his piano as "a ready-made that needed to be celebrated for its intrinsic peculiarities". There are antecedents: Virginia Astley's ...
