Franca Masu (born 1962 in Alghero, Sardinia, Italy) is a singer songwriter[1][2] often working in the Catalan Algherese dialect. At her debut Tony Scott declared her "one of Italy's top vocal talents".[3] She is an occasional actress and poet, and her songs often incorporate the work of Algherese poets. She also sings in Portuguese and is a fine exponent of fado. She has released several CDs and has performed concerts in the city of Alghero, throughout Sardinia, in Italy and across Europe.[4] [5]
