If the legendary singer Amália Rodrigues is the queen of fado, the national song genre of Portugal, this debut by Mariza announces her coronation as its crown princess of the 21st century. This twentysomething, Mozambique-born beauty of Portuguese, Spanish, German, African, and Indian descent rapidly rose from the Mouraria district of Lisbon to become fado's newest and brightest star. The 12 selections on this recording are arranged in chamber-style ensembles consisting of bass, piano, classical guitar, and its 12-stringed, Portuguese cousin, the Portuguese viola. Songs like "O Gente Da Minha Terra" and the traditional "Por Ti" ring with a haunting feeling of saudade well beyond Mariza's years. "Maria Lisboa," "Ha Fest Na Mouraria" (with cellist Davide Zaccaria), and "Barco Negro" are peppered with Iberian and African-flavored percussion. Mariza sings these songs of love, God, and country with a youthful vitality that proves that fado is alive and well. --Eugene Holley Jr.

I can't say anything else about this CD - it's excellent! Recently in Lisbon but did not have a chance to go to the Alfamo district to listen in person to a fado singer - this is the next best thing to being there. Put this CD on and whatever your doing ... you will be immediately transformed to another place. I'm sure the other reviewers inspired me to pick this CD as my first piece of fado music.
Beautiful expressive voice July 14, 2009
dancing to the music (Oregon, USA)
I heard this album in an exercise class and knew I had to get it even though my main taste in music is American rock, country, blues, gospel. There was something about this woman's voice that got to me and I am really enjoying the album.
The 'fado' is alive !!! June 6, 2008

Sweet, elegant and powerful voice. Beautiful songs. You don't have to understand portuguese to feel the meaning of these 'fados'.
Mariza & Fado & Suadades May 17, 2008
Jerry Vieira (Oregon USA)
The Portuguese say that there is no literal translation for the word "suadades". The is no word that exactly captures the emotional intensity of its meaning in the English language. It's probably best described as the intense emotional ache and inconsoleable deep longing for a treasured-something lost - the love of your life, a joyous life of a time gone by or a child taken before her time.
So when you listen to Fado music, it's probably best to be prepared with with your heart and head in that place, or at least expcect to be trasported there quickly. Having a bottle of red wine, some candles to light and box of tissues on hand is also good preparation.
To that emotional preparation add the inriguing and beautifully aranged music of the fado's minor keys. A simple acoustic guitar trio is all that's required(Portuguese guitar - which is a complex mandolin-type instrument, acoustic gut-stringed guitar and acoustic bass guitar). Yet that simple instrumentaion finds innumerable ways to weave intricate chords and melodic movement throughout each song.
If all that weren't enough to set the mood, imagine Mariza's voice, lyric, sullen, expressive, wide-ranging, lyric, expressive and phrased imaginatively yet perfectly. The woman is a musical genius with melodic instincts like no one I have ever heard.
There is no ussic in the worl with the emotional impact of Fado and there is no singer who can express it better than Mariza. What a wonderful gift she and her music is to the world.
Awsome voice April 7, 2008
Pardo (Kent)
I stumbled across Mariza by chance - I was channel flicking and came across a concert of hers on TV. My wife and I sat glued to the set for the next hour - that's how compelling her voice is.
