Grows on you.......2005-10-22

She has a great voice and good songs. At first listening we found that the CD lacks real highlights, the songs seem to blend into each other, but as we listened to it several times we found that it really is a beatiful CD. It actually is a bit hypnotic; her voice is so rich and the instruments so mellow. It is more for the real fado fan, not for a beginner.

Buyer Beware!!!.......2005-09-03

First off, five stars to Ms. Arnauth for what I feel certain is another amazing album. I have heard her in person, and have listened to other albums of hers, and she is AMAZING.

Sadly, EMI has chosen to implement copy protection technology on this album which prevents me from playing it in my car, or on my PC using my MusicMatch Jukebox player. This is in direct violation of the "fair use" act established by the Federal Government that protects the right of individuals to make a backup copy of their media, and it also violates common sense when it makes it impossible to play the CD on the only two players available to me. Thanks EMI - brilliant decision. At this point, I'll be purchasing no more music on the EMI label, no matter how much I admire the artist.

Talented Performer and Songwriter.......2005-06-15

I eagerly awaited my CD having read other reviews. There was no disappointment - I am in awe of this lady's power of her beautiful voice and its versatility. Favourites include No Teu Poema and her duo with Monica Ferraz in O Voz da Minh'Alma. This is a very well recorded album of traditional Portuguese music with excellent accompaniments from Jose Nunes, Joao Penedo and not forgetting Luis Oliveira, the partner in the songwriting duo. For anyone interested in Fado music this album is a MUST!

Memories of home.......2005-03-16

My father is from Madeira, and as his old LPs of Amalia Rodrogues and other classic fado artists have been wearing out, I've been searching for new fado CDs to help replace his collection. He's liked some artists well enough, but when he put this album on, he called me immediately, and couldn't stop telling me how much he loved Mafalda's voice. He even asked me to find him anything else by her that I could.

To me, that's the highest recommendation.

Deeper than the sea..........2004-04-26

This woman's eyes are deeper than the sea, and so is her music. Her voice is very strong and powerful, and yet very mellow compared to many other singers of Fado - Amalia Rodrigues, Dulce Pontes, Misia... These ladies even sound belligerent... but Mafalda is extremely feminine. Her voice slides gently over the soft waves of guitars, and her sensuality wins your heart from the very first note. My favourite tracks are "Eu Venho", written by Mafalda herself (she sings: "I came from the force of tide..." - there really is something of a mermaid in her:) and "O Voz Da Minh'Alma", a duet with another absolutely amazing singer, Monica Ferraz. I love Portugal, I love Lisbon, I love the sea... and all the beauty of this lovely country is present in Mafalda's voice. A real gem.
