Franca Masu (born 23 May 1962) 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 Italy and across Europe.^{[4] [5]}
