With a career spanning more than two decades and 30 platinum albums, Latin Grammy nominee and “the world’s most popular contemporary fado singer” (The Guardian) Mariza “is a dazzling, captivating force to behold” (Telegraph). Born in Mozambique and raised in the vibrant culture and music of Portugal, “Mariza is [fado’s] biggest star for a reason,” Rolling Stone notes. “She sings it not as musty nostalgia but as exuberant 21st-century pop … remaking Fado’s ancient sadness into a majestic modern sound.” Join us at the Center for the Arts for this unforgettable evening of “sublime, spine-tingling folk-pop” (The Times). Recommended for ages 12 and up.
