Portuguese fado star Mariza has become one of the most widely acclaimed stars on the global stage—a “dazzling, captivating force to behold” (The Telegraph). Whether singing traditional numbers or new songs, she proudly honors the legacy of Portugal’s expressive lament of destiny. With a career spanning more than two decades, Mariza is fado’s “biggest star for a reason: She sings it not as musty nostalgia but as exuberant 21st-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)
