Marina Rossell - Marina Rossell canta Moustaki (2011)

Catalan singer/songwriter Marina Rossell's latest offering in a career that harks back to the mid-'70s is a lovely tribute to the great French songwriter Georges Moustaki, one of Rossell's main influences as well as a beloved friend. Under the musical direction of Eduard Iniesta, Rossell lends her beautiful voice to 12 of Moustaki's most famous songs, such as "Le Métèque," "Ma Solitude," and "Le Facteur" (featuring Roger Mas), all adapted to the Catalan language by Josep Tero, Pelai Ribas, Lluís Llach, and Víctor Bocanegra. To top it all, the album reserves its most enticing surprises for the last two tracks: a previously unreleased duo of Rossell and Moustaki on "Màrmara" and a second version of "Le Métèque" with Paco Ibañez.
