Fátima MirandaFátima Miranda（ファティマ・ミランダ）

Fátima Miranda's voice spans over four octaves. She combines various techniques from the East, the West, and of her own invention. She offers unusual vocal acrobatics, fascinating modulations of diaphonic sounds and breath: from the most crystalline and angelic, to the wildest roaring voice. She blurs the boundaries between song, poetry, theater, composition, improvisation and interpretation. In her concerts, performances for solo voice, she is in harmony with a dramatic and poetic, sometimes humorous gesture of the highest refinement. She creates a variety of moods and emotions able to touch the depths of the soul.
