Fado is the traditional music of Portugal - proud, austere and deeply melancholic. Mariza is the music's biggest star for a reason: She sings it not as musty nostalgia but as exuberant twenty-first-century pop, with a low, mesmerizing alto that's as commanding as any pop singer today...remaking fado's ancient sadness into a majestic modern sound.
——Rolling Stone
The bright new face of Portuguese fado, Mariza delivers show-stopping spectacle and vocal theatrics at every performance. Her stunning repertoire pays deep respect to tradition while pushing the sublimely beautiful folk music into intriguing directions.
