Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents a performance from Mariza on Wednesday, October 2, 2024.

With enchanting charisma, an unparalleled voice, and profound emotional depth, Mariza is the premier performer of the proud, soulful Portuguese musical tradition fado. Characterized by melancholic melodies, evocative lyrics, and acoustic guitar accompaniment, fado sweeps through deep-rooted themes of love and loss.

20 years of career, 20 years of music. 20 years of a journey that began discreetly, as an almost hidden local phenomenon, shared only by a small circle of Lisbon admirers. And what made Mariza, and her extraordinary voice, one of the most applauded stars on the World Music circuit. And a true ambassador of Fado who does not hesitate to take it along new and daring paths, without ever losing sight of her soul.

An international ambassador of contemporary Portuguese music, Mariza’s name is synonymous with fado. Her captivating alto voice delivers raw power and beautiful, haunting longing. Singing in Portuguese and accompanied by her elegant band, she transcends language, celebrating fado’s cultural richness while weaving tales of life’s joys and sorrows.

No other Portuguese artist since Amália Rodrigues has built an international career with such success, accumulating success after success on the most prestigious world stages, enthusiastic references from the most demanding music critics and an endless succession of international awards and distinctions.

Her popularity has translated into over 30 platinum albums, numerous national and international awards, and performances on the most elite stages in the world: Olympia in Paris, Opera in Frankfurt Opera, Royal Festival Hall in London, Le Carré in Amsterdam, Palau de la Música in Barcelona, Sydney Opera House, Carnegie Hall in New York, and Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
