Portugal’s Mariza. No singer has done more in recent years for the glorious School of Music
Portuguese art form of fado than she. Fado is an emotional music fraught
with drama, sadness, yearning and joy, and the extraordinary Mariza projects
these qualities both on stage and on her much-loved recordings. Fado’s literal
defi nition is ‘fate’, and it has been Mariza’s fate to uphold the music’s rich
traditions while simultaneously bringing fado into the present. With her mag-
netic presence, effortless stage manner and spine-tingling vocal gift, Mariza
is a fadista queen for the 21st century.
