Gifted with an expressive and powerful soprano, fado singer Mariza is inarguably the genre's best-known global representative. Though her work remains within the Portuguese tradition, she has gradually incorporated elements from other folk and popular traditions. These include sounds from her native Mozambique and the southern reaches of Portugal, Brazilian samba and MPB, Cape Verdean mornas, and R&B. With the release of her six-times-platinum debut album, Fado em Mim (2001), her reputation reached beyond Portugal and spread internationally. She has performed on sold-out festival stages from New York’s Central Park to England's Royal Festival Hall. Transparente (2005) was the first fado album to top the Portuguese charts. She has repeated that feat numerous times since -- five of her releases, including Terra (2008) and Mariza Canta Amália (2020), have reached number one. She has received dozens of awards including her most cherished: Best Artist from the Amália Rodrigues Foundation.
