She is the icon of the new young fado - and has almost single-handedly made "Lisbon blues" respectable worldwide. Sold-out tours and numerous awards have helped the elegant Portuguese with Mozambican roots from Istanbul to Los Angeles achieve the status of a true and modern "Woman of the World".
Mariza grew up in Lisbon's Mouraria and has been taking fado to the world since her debut album "Fado em Mim" (2001). Countless international awards attest to the fact that Mariza is loved all over the world, including BBC Radio's World Music Award, the World Music Award of the German press, the Portuguese Golden Globe and, last but not least, five Grammy nominations.
