Concerto em Lisboa

Mariza is a Mozambican whose soul was forged in the old Mouraria district of Lisbon. It was there that she first heard fado singers. After conquering British audiences with her performance on Jools Holland's legendary television show, Mariza was awarded the BBC Radio 3 Best European World Music Artist Award in March 2003.

'Concerto Em Lisboa' is a wonderful live performance that Mariza did in Lisbon during 2005. The concert took place in the gardens in front of Torre de Belém (Belém Tower), a famous and beautiful neighborhood of Lisbon, with a magnificent view of the city and the borders of the Tejo River.

The orchestra "Sinfonietta de Lisboa” was conducted by Jaques Morelenbaum, who was also the producer and arranger of Mariza's former album, 'Transparente'. 'Concerto em Lisboa' brings us not only the songs of 'Transparente' but also most of Mariza's well known songs of the first and second albums, re-arranged for orchestra. With this release, you will be able to listen to singles like: "Medo”; "Há Uma Música Do Povo”; "Meu Fado Meu”; "Cavaleiro Monge”; "Há Palavras Que Nos Beijam” and "Ó Gente Da Minha Terra” between others that will make you wish you could have been there.
