Jazz at the Lobero presents Mariza on Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 7:30 p.m. Gifted with an expressive and powerful soprano, Mariza is a chart-topping superstar of the fado movement in Portugal who has had a global following since the early 2000s.
Over the years, the Multi-Platinum-selling singer has distinguished herself by gradually incorporating elements from other folk and popular traditions into her music. Mariza has received numerous national and international awards throughout her career and is a humanitarian who also serves as a UNICEF Good Will Ambassador.
“The world-class Portuguese fado singer transcended language barriers with her emotive, spell-binding performance at the Royal Albert Hall.” – The Telegraph
Born in Mozambique but raised in one of the most emblematic, traditional neighborhoods of Lisbon, Mouraria, Mariza was influenced from a very early age by the musical culture that inhabits every corner: Fado. Inspired by the big names and renowned voices of the genre, she quickly became a local phenomenon and made her name echo across borders. Heiress to the state of mind of the Portuguese people, Mariza rose to world heritage status, made the globe her stage and seduced the most demanding audiences. She has performed on sold-out festival stages from Québec and New York’s Central Park to the Hollywood Bowl and to England’s Royal Festival Hall.
Public recognition translates into over 30 platinum albums and the numerous national and international awards she has already collected. In recent years, Mariza’s internationalization has opened new musical horizons, transforming her into one of the most complete and respected artists in the world. In September 2023, Mariza released her latest album, Home – the celebration of a career spanning more than two decades, winking at her future.
