Mariza

Sunday, October 6, 2024
7 p.m.
 
“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 is as commanding as any pop singer today... remaking Fado’s ancient sadness into a majestic modern sound.” – Rolling Stone
