Mísia is the new voice of fado; a form of music imbued with poetic mystery. Fado came into being midway throught the nineteenth century and took root in the working class quarters of Lisbon. Fado is akin to the tango and the blues. Mísia is accompanied by piano, violin and accordian with the Portuguese guitar providing the rhythm.

Oscar De'Leon - Volver a Verle (Oscar De'Leon, a native of Venezuela, is said to be the number one sonero in salsa music.) a sonero sings; improvising over any melodic line; dances, and plays a musical instument.
