I'm absolutely hooked on Fado. Mariza is one of the youngest talented stars of Fado and she is to certain extent developing the art in her own fashion.
But make no mistake, her performance of this music renders a well seasoned maturity in the art. Her voice simply sends shudders down my spine.
I bought "Fado Curvo" after hearing her first album- 'Fado em mim'.
Her fabulous, earthy voice is beautifully set off by settings that vary from traditional to innovative. The haunting "Menino do Bairro Negro" is particularly memorable.
All in all, though at first this album may not seem as such a spectacular masterpiece as 'Fado Em Mim', I promise you that it's 'fantasticalness' will be revealed after only a couple of listens and you will not regret buying this cd!
