Mariza

The Portuguese fado singer blends tradition and modernity into a sublime and breathtakingly powerful sound. Born in Mozambique and raised in Mouraria, Lisbon, Mariza grew up surrounded by the voices, guitars and memories of fado, a traditional Portuguese music style. Across a career spanning over two decades, Mariza has taken up this legacy and transformed it into a universal language – one that is deeply emotional, a bridge between tradition and modernity, memory and future. Her unique voice has taken her from local star to global icon with a wealth of accolades including over 50 platinum records, several Grammy Award nominations, prestigious international awards and widespread critical acclaim. Today, she is a regular presence in the most prestigious venues in the world, and one of Portugal’s greatest artists, always taking with her the soul and identity of Portugal – reinventing herself without ever losing her roots. Come and celebrate her unique career and the release of her new album, which reflects on her journey and announces a new artistic phase: an even bolder, more global and timeless Mariza.
