Advantages: Maturity in her voice Disadvantages: Copy Controlled CD- can't put it on your MP3 unless you download it
You just have to listen to one of her songs in any album and you will become a fan right away.
Her voice has no languages nor barriers.
In Mariza's Fado all you can hear is someone singing with her whole heart.
In her voice you see a picture, that soon becomes a story.
I recomended this CD to all of my friends and colleagues even though they did not understand Portuguese.
They soon began understanding fado and have become as passionate of Fado as I have.
I own "Fado em mim, Fado Curvo, transparente & Conncerto em Lisboa" all four of them are amazing!!!!
I also own the 2 DVD's- Concerto em Lisboa and live in London.
This is some of the best music I have ever heard!
Sung 200% from her heart! ...
Advantages: Every track is amazing Disadvantages: It has to end!
This is the CD that started it all off for Mariza.
It has gone on to being one of the most sold world music titles in the UK of the last 10 years.
She appeared on Jules Holland to fill in a gap after Bjork pulled out due to sickness- and i'm glad Bjork was sick that day.
A bright star was born.
Right from the outstart of this CD, it is excellent.
There are no fillers and even though it is sung in Portuguese, you can feel the emotion of every song.
From the upbeat 'Oica la Senhor Vinho' to the very emotional 'O gente da minha terra' the talent is shown in abundance.
If you like dicovering new talents, then this is the CD for you. ...
Advantages: Amazing voice and energy Disadvantages: None
Fans of Mariza have been waiting for a live concert CD, and this one comes from what seemingly was a wonderful night in Belem.
'Barco Negro' and 'Quando me sinto so' appear on the DVD but are omitted from the CD.
However, with 16 tracks who's complaining.
The recording is excellent with great presence in the voice.
She sings her way through various songs of hers and traditional ones too, highlighting her amazing voice and talent.
When i bought this CD, i thought it would be good, but i was amazed at how good someone can be when singing live.
I don't think anyone in the world even comes close to beating Mariza live- she's the best!
You won't be disappointed but you will want the DVD too! ...
