Mariza. Regina del Fado

• Mariza, vocals
• Luís Guerreiro, Portuguese guitar
• Carlos (Phelipe) Ferreira, acoustic guitar
• Gabriel Salles, bass guitar
• Mário Costa, percussion
• João Frade, accordion

Born in Mozambique and raised in Lisbon's Mouraria neighbourhood, the cradle of fado, Mariza is the most iconic and innovative performer of this musical genre. Her voice embodies the saudade of Portugal, but also the richness of a mixed culture where Africa and Europe meet. While fado originated as an expression of melancholy and exile, Mariza has broadened its scope, transforming it into a music that is both deeply rooted in tradition and open to the world.
