Mariza is a Mozambican whose soul was forged in the old Mouraria district of Lisbon. It was there that she first heard fado singers. "I lived in a traditional Lisbon neighbourhood and have always sung the fado - I know what it is, I understand myself through it."
"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
