Mísia is a pseudonym of singer Susana Maria Alfonso de Aguiar (1955, Porto, Portugal - 2024, Lisbon, Portugal). She was the first portuguese singer of the xxth century to bring a revolution to fado, by making it free of its stereotyped form.

Susana Maria Alfonso de Aguiar (18 June 1955 – 27 July 2024), known mononymously as Mísia, was a Portuguese fado singer. She was a polyglot, singing some of her songs in Spanish, French, Catalan, English, and Japanese.

==Background== Mísia's mother was Catalan and used to be a cabaret dancer, which accounts for many of the influences that shaped her music: tango, bolero, the use of Portuguese guitar with accordion, violin and the piano.
