WLIW introduces the multi-platinum Portuguese-African fado singer in her first U.S. concert special. An urban folk music dating back to the 19th century, fado is Portugal's brand of soulful blues: deeply melancholic and filled with longing. Mariza's mesmerizing alto, enthusiasm and commanding stage presence make her distinctive interpretation of the genre as infectious as modern-day pop. This enchanting performance at the Tower of Belém garden includes the songstress' greatest hits "Loucura," "Maria Lisboa" and "Ó Gente Da Minha Terra," and her latest smash "Transparente," off her new studio album. Backed by Portuguese guitar and full orchestra, the Sinfonietta de Lisboa conducted by Jaques Morelenbaum, Mariza's memorable performance is sure to spark a new romance with American audiences.
