ENTREE has beena fan of Mariza for decades but here is what the ctitics say:

“The world-class Portuguese fado singer transcended language barriers with her emotive, spell-binding performance at the Royal Albert Hall.” – The Telegraph

Born in Mozambique but raised in one of the most emblematic, traditional neighborhoods of Lisbon, Mouraria, Mariza was influenced from a very early age by the musical culture that inhabits every corner: Fado. Inspired by the big names and renowned voices of the genre, she quickly became a local phenomenon and made her name echo across borders. Heiress to the state of mind of the Portuguese people, Mariza rose to world heritage status, made the globe her stage and seduced the most demanding audiences. She has performed on sold-out festival stages from Québec and New York’s Central Park to the Hollywood Bowl and to England’s Royal Festival Hall.

Public recognition translates into over 30 platinum albums and the numerous national and international awards she has already collected. In recent years, Mariza’s internationalization has opened new musical horizons, transforming her into one of the most complete and respected artists in the world. In September 2023, Mariza released her latest album, Home – the celebration of a career spanning more than two decades, winking at her future.
