與較傳統的Fado、以及Mariza以往的作品相比,新作中的音樂節拍更為自由活潑,同時,Fado婉約優雅的氣質依然得到了很好的保留,彌漫在富有淡淡現代感的輕曼律動中。而與佛得角歌手Tito Paris、赤道幾內亞裔西班牙黑人歌手Concha Buika的合作,也為專輯融入了更多拉丁民謠的色彩。

Fado是葡萄牙一種充滿情感的民族歌曲,極富感染力,把激情、哀怨表現得淋漓盡致。Mariza作為一位Fado歌星,聲線悽楚動人,已經被譽為"Fado公主",儼然已經成為Fado傳奇歌後Amalia Rodrigues的接班人。

Mariza在孩童時代開始學習葡萄牙傳統演唱形式Fado,她父親用速寫漫畫幫助她記住那些抒情詩,而5歲開始,她就在里斯本Mouraria其父母親經營的餐館中演唱。雖然Mariza生於莫三比克(Mozambique),但嬰孩時期已舉家前往葡萄牙,故此她經常接觸到Fado,唱歌亦成為其日常生活的一部分,Mariza認為Fado是一種充滿情感的音樂,將激情、哀痛、嫉妒、哀情和諷刺一一透過詩歌表達出來。

目前,Mariza已是著名的Fado歌星,被英國廣播公司第3電台獎譽為“最佳世界音樂歌手”,她的演出風格不僅承載了Fado的傳統,而且為這個古老的表演形式注入了新概念。Mariza的演出充滿了個人色彩,其未經矯飾的情感,自然流暢而富有吸引力,猶如音樂激情與戲劇的融合。而且,Mariza的聲線優美悽楚,即使是不懂葡萄牙語的聽眾,也能被她傾倒,聽她歌唱是一種靈魂與情感的直接交流,是愛與鄉情的表現。



Born in Mozambique but raised in Portugal, singer Mariza became one of the most popular fado performers ever after releasing her debut album, called Fado Em Mim. She appeared in Sydney at the Festival awhile ago and floored the audience who were captivated by her highly stylized performances of fado (destiny in English) a Portuguese style based on different folk rhythms.



Mariza - Fado Em Mim
April 9, 2002
Label: Times Square Records




If the legendary singer Amália Rodrigues is the queen of fado, the national song genre of Portugal, this debut by Mariza announces her coronation as its crown princess of the 21st century. This twentysomething, Mozambique-born beauty of Portuguese, Spanish, German, African, and Indian descent rapidly rose from the Mouraria district of Lisbon to become fado's newest and brightest star. The 12 selections on this recording are arranged in chamber-style ensembles consisting of bass, piano, classical guitar, and its 12-stringed, Portuguese cousin, the Portuguese viola. Songs like "O Gente Da Minha Terra" and the traditional "Por Ti" ring with a haunting feeling of saudade well beyond Mariza's years. "Maria Lisboa," "Ha Fest Na Mouraria" (with cellist Davide Zaccaria), and "Barco Negro" are peppered with Iberian and African-flavored percussion. Mariza sings these songs of love, God, and country with a youthful vitality that proves that fado is alive and well. --Eugene Holley Jr.
