 Rating:  - more quality music from a true starI had not heard of Mariza a year ago, but when we moved to Portugal we were given the Transparente Cd.... it KNOCKED ME OUT unbelievable voice ~ cool ennunciation ~ amazing guitar we were then fortunate to see Mariza in concert in a 400 year old quadrangle at Coimbra University, under the stars on a July night TOTAL MAGIC (and NO CD's 't' shirts popcorn for sale ANYWHERE... Great .. an artist who is truly about her Music ~ not Merchandising...!) Mariza only spoke Portuges but did so slowly, thoughtfully, so we understood a lot of her words the new album Terra is simpler and more muted than Transparente, but is still a MUST Rating: - Branching outIt's taken me a while to fully appreciate this album. At first I found it slightly dull melodically, and lacking a ballad with the same emotive power of her much-loved 'O gente da minha terra'. But it's grown on me, and those songs that have the sad beauty typical of fado music have thoroughly eclipsed the few that don't do it for me. Ten successful tracks out of 14 is pretty good value for money, I reckon. Technically, it's perfect: Mariza's voice is as pitch-perfect, controlled and expressive as ever, the musicianship and production are superb, and it's more diverse than her previous albums, with some jazzy, laidback trumpet and piano, occasional flamenco influence, and a Cape Verde-style song (featuring Tito Paris, who ...

As a friend of Amalia Rodrigues and Maria da Fé, I don't like to hear anyone sing Alfama. That said, this new album by Mariza is a fado lover's dream. Every syllable deliciously prounounced. I first heard "Ja me deixou" last year at Maria's place Senhor Vinho performed by Beatriz de Conceicao, one of the finest fadistas to draw breath, and Mariza equals her. "As guitarras" truly brings a lump to the throat, and "Pequenhas verdade" adds a new meaning to class. I could go on and on, folks.... JUST BUY THE ALBUM!!!! Rating: - Beautiful FadoMore beautiful Fado music by the talented Portuguese singer. This is up there with the best of her other albums and is highly recommended. Gets you in the traditional Portuguese state of mind and reminds me of sitting in an old restaurant abroad soaking up the native culture. |
