Media Acclaim for Fado Superstar Mariza

“…a stunning performance….an impressive sight….fully in command of a rich array of vocal timbres and a subtle sense of timing.”
Los Angeles Times

“Her voice is a gorgeous evocative instrument, and she sings with bravura and power…the world has met its next great Portuguese ‘fadista’.”
Billboard Magazine

“Mariza makes melancholy feel so luxurious that you won’t want a cure.” 
— Time Out, New York

“When Mariza sings, time stands still. Every word is sung with intense concentration, every note hit flawlessly. When she pauses for dramatic effect, we are all with her, caught in her trap….”
— Charlie Gillett, BBC Radio (UK)

“If the legendary singer Amália Rodrigues is the queen of fado, the national song genre of Portugal, this debut by Mariza announces her coronation as its crown princess of the 21st century.”
Amazon.com (editorial review)

“Mariza is giving new life to Portugal’s traditional song form.”
Time Magazine

“You have to see Mariza perform to understand how physical her art really is.”
The Globe and Mail (Canada)

“In no record this year has sorrow been presented with more grace and power.”
Washington Post

“Mariza’s appearance was striking…with her voice swelling to reach climaxes that were just short of tears.”
The New York Times
