Mariza November 1, 2008

Two special concerts by the queen of fado, the breathtakingly lyrical and melancholic music of Portugal.

Adored around the world for her heart breaking voice, compelling stage charisma and performances that are full of musical passion and drama , Mariza returns to London for her first UK concerts in two years to premiere material from her eagerly anticipated album Terra, out this autumn on EMI.

'When Mariza sings, time stands still. Every word is sung with intense concentration, every note hit flawlessly. When she pauses for dramatic effect, we are all with her.' Charlie Gillett, BBC Radio 3.
