	MARIZA ® English
		Much of the credit for that goes to Mariza, fadista whose superb contralto voice and fearless sense of drama have made her a star on the rise.
		And when Mariza unleashed the full power of her voice - as she did in the wrenching "Primavera" - it was one long, devastating cry from the heart.
		Somehow Mariza delivers the poetic, melancholy songs with the conviction of a grieving relative, the innocence of a kindergarten teacher reading a story, and the worldliness of a middle-aged man's mistress.

	BBC - Radio 3 Awards for World Music 2003 - Mariza
		However, the recent rise to prominence by Portuguese fado singer Mariza certainly justifies the use of this cliché.
		But when producer and musician Jorge Fernando heard her sing one of her occasional fados one night, he was so impressed that he suggested she record a whole album of them.
		Hesitating at first, she finally agreed, and the results were so popular with the Portuguese public that Mariza was soon being compared to the great fadista Amalia Rodrigues, that mixed blessing which has long been the fate of most young female fado singers.

		Mariza is surely one of the best Fadistas on the scene but it is more than just her voice.

		Mariza: When I say "Meu Fado Meu" I'm not trying to say "the fado is mine," in the sense of fado music, with all the history, 200 years of history, with everything.

	Andrew Meldrum on the Portuguese singer Mariza \| World \| Guardian Unlimited Music
		While Mariza's albums have brought her acclaim, it is her live performances that turn critics and audiences alike into adoring fans.
		In contrast, Mariza exudes a bubbling love of life, her sense of fun coming across especially in her patter between songs.
		One reason why Mariza is adored by fado purists is her reverence for tradition; she wears the customary fl, she modernises without bringing in rock or pop.
