Movie Reviews of Mariza: Concerto Em Lisboa

Movie Review: Mariza - Concerto em Lisboa
Summary: 5 Stars

Concerto em Lisboa

I have been listening to "Fado" only in the last couple of years,but, i must say the lately i only listen to this fantastic way of expression.
Mariza? well..... it is something that conquer your feelings, your heart!
Amalia Rodriguez and Mariza The two most fantastic voices of all times, the old way and the modern way......Mariza? some of her cd and dvd have been played.....i wanted to say the amount of time being played but I lost the count; the Concert em Lisboa is certainly one of them. By the way your guess was wrong I am not Portoghese I am Italian! Enjoy music. Raffaele

Movie Review: Superb!
Summary: 5 Stars

I've watched both the Lisbon and the London DVDs and Mariza's passion for Portugal, Lisbon and fado come outs strong in both DVDs. However, performing next to the beautiful Tower of Belem adds authenticity to the performance that cannot be duplicated. This might be stating the obvious since the performance is in Portugal, but there is no English in this DVD, so if that is something important, one might be disappointed. I only speak English and had no issues with this. Her voice is magnificent, she is humble and charming. I adore her.

Movie Review: fado at it's best

Movie Review: "Concerto Em Lisboa ... Mariza Reis Nuneswas ... Silva Screen Records (2007)"
Summary: 4 Stars

Silva Screen Records presents "Mariza: Concerto Em Lisboa" --- featuring Mariza Reis Nuneswas the artist who performed at Live 8; she sang at the Eden Project in Cornwall. Since that time, Mariza has been invited to a large number of concerts and events to promote Portuguese culture around the whole world, from Australia to Finland, the United States and Argentina ... Mariza is considered as a more contemporary follower of Amália Rodrigues ... growing up, and until she became a fado singer, Mariza sang in a wide variety of styles, including gospel, soul and jazz ... released in 2001, Mariza's first album, "Fado em Mim", was an instant success in Portugal, selling more than 30,000 copies. This led to her recording company launching the disc internationally and taking advantage of the good reception that Portuguese music was enjoying at the time in Europe and in other countries, such as Mexico and Japan ... at the 2002 FIFA World Cup she performed the Portuguese national anthem at the game which pitted the home team (South Korea) against Portugal ... then came Mariza's second album, "Fado Curvo", was released in 2003, she was already considered as one of the best singers of what some call the new Fado movement. Mariza's voice, which harks back to the grand divas of the musical form, like the eternal Amalia Rodrigues, and her impassioned interpretations of Fado standards brought her great international recognition in a short amount of time, leading to her being the recipient, in March 2003, of BBC Radio 3's award for Best European Artist in World Music ... with her third album, "Transparente", was recorded in Brazil and released in 2005.

Mariza Reis Nunes (pron. IPA: [m.'i.z]/) (born December 16, 1973 in Mozambique) is a fado singer, moved to Portugal when she was three, and was raised in one of the most traditional quarters of Lisbon, Mouraria - Alfama, where she learned how to sing fado ... she has a Portuguese father but her mother hails from Mozambique (the song "Transparente" is a tribute to her African grandmother) ... for the Olympic Games of Athens 2004 she sang a duet with Sting in the song A thousand years, released on the official pop album of the Athens Olympics, Unity, on which fado is sung in English and Portuguese. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Great job Silva Screen Records.presentation is flawless, with blends of immortal performances ... this latest release of her live CD and DVD, will capture the hearts of more American fans ... surrounded by legions of Portuguese fans, and buoyed by her country's longstanding tradition of discovery and exploration, Mariza looks forward while looking back, creating a new form of fado, while respecting what came before.
