Mariza
Venue: Zellerbach Hall B Price: $24/$34/$46 The emotional cousin of the blues, tango, and flamenco, Portugal's fado music fuses seemingly incompatible worlds: impossible pain and fervent joy, life's cruelty and love's intensity. With her debut recording Fado Em Mim, Mariza—a Mozambique-born beauty of Portuguese, Spanish, German, African, and Indian descent—was immediately hailed as the heir of fadista legend Amália Rodrigues. Mariza walks the fine line necessary to communicate fado's genuine traditions while imbuing them with modern freshness, and her performances capture the raw emotion that characterizes this classic music. "Her voice is a gorgeous, evocative instrument, and she sings with bravura and power," says Billboard. Program Notes: Program notes are available online, click here.
