With her second latest album “Mariza Canta Amália,” Mariza has released an album that is dedicated entirely to the late fado pioneer Amália Rodrigues. On it, Mariza reinterprets 10 touching songs from Rodrigues’ repertoire with the help of producer legend Jaques Morelenbaum, who had already produced her triple-platinum album “Transparente” (2005). She manages to retain the soul of the songs, while at the same time giving them her very own brand. With “Mariza Canta Amália,” The album was released on the occasion of Mariza’s 20th stage anniversary and Rodrigues’ 100th birthday and thanks Rodrigues for the legacy and inspiration she left behind.
Over the past 10 years, Mariza has taken the stages of Paris, Hamburg, Amsterdam, London, Luxembourg, Rome, Madrid and the big summer festivals by storm. The “Queen of Fado” has been showered with top-class international awards in the past (1x Golden Globe, 3x World Music Awards from BBC Radio, 4x German Record Critics' Awards, 2x nominations for the Latin Grammy, 1x WOMEX Artist Award 2014).She is the most important ambassador of contemporary Portuguese music; her name is synonymous with the voice that declared fado to be her calling card and life's mission. At the same time, however, she never looked back when it came to finding new paths for fado.
Mariza’s latest, seventh studio album bears the simple but apt title “MARIZA.” On the one hand, because her voice and her genre-spanning talent could never be pigeonholed. But also because you can expect nothing less from Mariza than Mariza.
Tickets are CHF 45.30-116.30.
