Synopsis

Album Description
Cristina Branco's second album, Murmurios -her first CD produced in a studio- was a decided milestone in her career. For this album she received the renowned prize, Choc de l'Annee du Monde de la Musique, in France in the category of world music. Cristina was inundated by invitations for live performances and the course of her career was clarified: Cristina Branco would become a fado artist. Listen to this music to discern the rustle of leaves above an almost breathless sigh, clouds slowly drifting in a gathering dusk ... that is fado ... those are the murmurios of Cristina Branco.MW Records. 2006

CD Reviews

Cristina Branco is great
Ruud Harmsen | Netherlands | 06/04/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Cristina Branco is the greatest fado singer I have heard so far (and I have heard many others too). Apart from Murmúrios, there are three other CD's. Especially recommended: Post-Scriptum: even more beautiful than Murmúrios (I didn't think it was possible, but it is). The other two are great too.My favourite tracks on Murmúrios are: 3. As Certezas do meu mais brilhante amor 8. Pombas brancas"
Rediscover The fado fir the new millenium
Nuno quaresma | Lisbon, Portugal | 05/17/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The first time i heard Cristina Branco was on a Portuguese TV cultural Guide "Acontece", And i stood stoned by the energy and youth presented in her performance. First thing in the next morning, i went to a music store to hear more about this fantastic artist. "Murmurios" is her 2nd Album, where great poems from major Portuguese Poets are convertesd in a moody way of Fado. It's everything we know about Fado and more. The powerfull voice, fatal but not too sad, melancolic, but also, cheerfull. The arrangements are great. Prevailing the typical Portuguese guitar, the classical guitar, assumes a new role, and in the last track, a piano gives a wonderfull touch. For the first time in my life I buyed a Fado CD, and I'm thrilled. Thanks, Cristina."
Her voice, her "saudade", her songs
Roberto Remes | Mexico City, DF Mexico | 04/21/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Cristina's voice is one of the most impressive voices in Portugal. She also represents the "saudade" (saudade has no accurate translation to other languages, means missing someone, love, sadness, and some contradictory feelings, it is very representative of what fado is). Her songs are beautiful too."
