Queen of Fado?
Fui a ver a la cantante portuguesa Misia en concierto en el Queen Elizabeth Hall en Abril, pero no hable del concierto por alguna razon.
It may be time to mention it.
The fados were obviously good, but what I really enjoyed where the tangos and boleros she sprinkled here and there, and that are included in her most recent album, Drama Box.
There is nothing like a song going "Cada atardecer, miro la puerta, ese espacio donde vas a aparecer, ese momento, te considero tan egoistamente mio" is there??
The moment for me was when she sung the rather well known "los Mareados". My favourite singer, the Argentinian Mercedes Sosa, sang it quite powerfully and I was quite moved on hearing it live like that, unexpectedly. "Esta noche beberemos, porque ya no volveremos a vernos mas. Hoy vas a entrar en mi pasado... en el pasado de mi vida"
And after that, a tango full of passion and verve and pride: "yo soy Maria, de Buenos Aires, si en este barrio la gente pregunta quien soy, pronto lo sabran!"
It is funny, it reminded me of a guy en mi pasado.
