Mariza

One of Portugal’s major purveyors of fado music, Mariza has become an icon in her own country – and acclaimed worldwide – for her sensually melancholic voice, which has come to incarnate the poetic tristesse inherent to fado.   Two live discs and her soul-baring performances have placed her in the category of a smoldering chanteuse par excellence.  Mon., Oct. 18, 8pm.  Campbell Hall, UCSB. $35 general, $17 UCSB students.  893-3535 or www.artsandlectures.ucsb.edu.
