The fabulous Portuguese singer Misia died in Lisbon of cancer last week. She was 69.

Portugal’s Culture Minister Dalila Rodrigues called her ‘a fundamental voice in the renewal of fado’.

This is what we’ll miss.

    How terribly sad. An immense artist. I thoroughly enjoyed her solo albums as well as her guest appearances, notably on Christina Pluhar’s ensemble, L’ Arpeggiata. Here is a piece from the album Mediterraneo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh2zaxeRdp0

    I have no idea what she is saying but I believe every word of it! Beautiful singing.
