Portuguese superstar singer Mariza, a current Latin Grammy nominee in the category of Best Folk Album, will perform on the popular Late Show with David Letterman on October 11 at 10:35 PM.
Then, on October 20 at 8:00 PM, Mariza will be appearing live in Dallas at McFarlin Auditorium on the SMU campus as TITAS launches its 2007–2008 Music Series.
Mariza’s Grammy nod is of historic importance in the music industry because it marks the first time that a Portuguese artist has been nominated for a Latin Grammy award.
“Fado is the traditional music of Portugal – proud, austere and deeply melancholic. Mariza is the music’s biggest star for a reason: She sings it not as musty nostalgia but as exuberant twenty-first-century pop, with a low, mesmerizing alto that’s as commanding as any pop singer today… remaking fado’s ancient sadness into a majestic modern sound.” – Rolling Stone
