LISBON Adidas Superstar 2 Marine Goud D66092 Goedkoop , May 19 (Xinhua) -- Portuguese Fado leading singer Misia moved a full auditorium on Friday night with her tribute to the poets who marked her career over the past 25 years.
"I am here to show gratitude to the poets and writers who marked my work but also the person I am today," she said on stage before performing "Misia and Her Poets" at Lisbon's Belem Cultural Center.
She performed her traditional fado repertoire with poems written by some of the country's most prestigious contemporary poets and writers.
"The fact that they wrote for my voice and for my music defines my work," she told Xinhua before the concert in a telephone interview.
Brazilian singer and composer Adriana Calcanhotto appeared towards the end of the night with her melodic voice and guitar filling the auditorium. "I dedicate this to Misia who taught me to love fado," she said.
Fado Adidas Superstar 2 Bling Zwart Goud G62844 Goedkoop , a Portuguese musical style known as the soul of Portugal, is usually sung by a single person and accompanied by a classical guitar and a Portuguese guitar. It was added to UNESCO's list of Cultural and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2011.
Misia, who grew up in Porto, Northern Portugal Dames Adidas Superstar 2 Grijs Rood G17252 Goedkoop , used to sing at Fado houses as an amateur in her adolescence. She moved to Barcelona at the age of 20, and began her career after returning to Portugal in 1991 at a time when Fado was not as popular as it is today.
Inspired by the great Fado singer Amalia and with the desire to follow her own path, Misia contacted numerous poets, composers Dames Adidas Superstar Blauw Wit 909244 Goedkoop , singers, writers, photographers and designers and asked them to engage in her music. Since then she has built a unique fado repertoire, which has been referred to as "Novo Fado" (new fado).
Misia's style is rooted in the traditional fado style but she incorporates instruments inspired from her childhood like the accordion and the violin Dames Adidas Superstar 2 Wit Rood 919618 Goedkoop , as well as the traditional guitar trio.
Her music has taken her to countries around the world including Spain, Japan, Germany, China and South Korea.
"Fado influenced me since childhood and throughout my adolescence Dames Adidas Superstar 2 Zwart Wit 664819 Goedkoop , and the biggest influence was Amalia, but also French music, Brazilian music, and classical music Adidas Superstar II Wit Goud Goedkoop ," she told Xinhua.
"I have been travelling for 25 years, so it is impossible not to be a sponge and soak up all these influences, and to be sensitive, to reciprocate Adidas Superstar 2 Rood Wit G50966 Goedkoop ," she explained.
Misia also points out that her work is not a fusion of influences and it has never been her intention to renovate the genre.
"I perform fado with contemporary arrangements, but I never told myself that I would renovate fado, I just did what I felt. And I have a lot of respect for traditional fado."
One thing that Misia is actively focused on changing is men's dominance in Fado, so in her album Senhor da Noite Adidas Superstar 2 Bruin 012820 Goedkoop , she presented 13 fados written by 13 women.
Misia was never constrained by a single music style or genre. She has instead participated in several projects apart from fado music, including with the baroque Mediterranean group Arpeggiata.
Misia has won numerous awards including the Vermeil Medal, the highest honor of the city of Paris.

RIO DE JANEIRO， May 11 (Xinhua) -- The impeachment process of Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff came to a critical point on Wednesday， with a voting which can - and most likely will - result in the president being suspended from office.
The Senate is scheduled to vote Wednesday on whether to begin impeachment proceedings against Rousseff. A simple majority for the motion will remove the president from the position and force her to face a final trial， which should be scheduled within 180 days.
In that case， which is highly likely， Vice President Michel Temer will temporarily take the rein of the country now mired in political chaos.
The situation now is controversial and potentially incendiary.
Rousseff sees Temer as one of the masterminds of the impeachment process. She has been vocal in denouncing what she considers a coup orchestrated by her running mate and Eduardo Cunha， who was recently suspended from his position of lower house speaker by a Supreme Court decision.
Tuesday， the government made a final move to try to halt the process: Attorney-General Jose Eduardo Cardozo filed an injunction at the Supreme Court to cancel the impeachment， on the grounds that there were procedural flaws during the impeachment process.
The case is being analyzed by Supreme Court Judge Teori Zavascki. His decision is expected to be announced before the Senate voting and may be a new turnaround in the already complicated case.
THE IMPEACHMENT
Rousseff is being impeached for allegedly committing a crime of fiscal responsibility by signing some decrees which altered the budget without consulting the Congress. A crime of responsibility is a requirement foreseen in Brazilian Constitution in order to impeach a president.
The problem is that the fiscal measures to which Rousseff resorted are common practice in Brazilian administrations， and their legality has never been questioned until now.
As Rousseff herself said earlier this week， while she signed six decrees of this kind last year， one of her predecessors， Fernando Henrique Cardoso -- whose party is now in the opposition and is most vocal about the impeachment -- signed dozens in a similar period.
At least 16 governors signed the same decrees since their term started in January 201.
