A Catalan pearl from Alghero

She's been defined "the revelation of Catalan music for the year 2000". The curious thing is that Franca Masu is an Italian, from Alghero, where the dialect is indeed archaic Catalan. "El meu viatge" (Saint Rock, www.saintrock.com) is a pearl of world-jazz music perfected at the home of Antonello Venditti and produced by the American musician Mark Harris, arranger with such artists as De André and Pausini.
