Powerhouse vocalist Mariza performs fado, a traditional song form from her native Portugal characterized by what one might call a sense of longing or strong emotion. If you want an indication of the melancholy factor of fado, take a quick peek at the English translation of the lyrics in the CD booklet. Mariza's intense, full and throaty voice is showcased here on her fourth album, performing older songs such as Rosa Branca alongside music that takes its cues from Cuba (with pianist Chucho Valdes), Cape Verde (with singer Tito Paris) and Spain (with both the singer Buika and flamenco guitarist and producer Javier Limon). The combination of influences and connection to tradition combine with a more-than-memorable voice to create an album that won't soon be forgotten. 9/10 Trial Track: Beijo de Saudade (Erin MacLeod) At Place des Arts, Sun., Feb. 15, 8 p.m., $36.33 $51.38 02/13/09 >> go there
