Mariza, vocals / Jose Neto, Portuguese guitar
Pedro Joia, Acoustic guitar / Nando Araujo, acoustic bass
Vicky Marque, percussion
Of both Portuguese and African descent, Mariza has come to be known as the embodiment of modern Fado, Lisbon's emotion-filled folk music. Her soulful voice expresses the essence of this melancholy art form, a song style dating back to the 19th century and imbued with themes of longing, separation and reconnection. Mariza reinterprets the classical style of Fado Tradicional also adding her own modern signature for an updated sound. She and her acoustic ensemble convey pure emotion in their tales of the Portuguese sea and sun.

Singer Mariza embodies the spirit of classic fado-traditional, somber folk music in her native Portugal. Fado dates back to the early 1800s, but Mariza reinvigorates the style with Brazilian, African and Cuban influences. Her melancholy, operatic voice gives the music an emotional jolt. Mariza has steadily been making a name for herself outside of Europe: after the release of her debut 2001 album, Fado em Mim, she performed in New York's Central Park, Hollywood Bowl and the Quebec Summer Festival. In 2007, she got a coveted spot performing on The Late Show with David Letterman. (Amulya Datla)
