Born in Mozambique and raised in Mouraria, one of the most emblematic and traditional neighbourhoods of Lisbon, Mariza grew up surrounded by the voices, guitars and memories of Fado. Since an early age she assumed that legacy, transforming it into a universal language and becoming the most acclaimed Portuguese artist in the world.

Inspired by the big names of Fado and gifted with a unique voice, Mariza started by conquering Lisbon, soon becoming a phenomenon across borders. Today she is a regular presence in the most prestigious venues in the world, from USA to Asia, Europe to Latin America, taking with her the soul and the identity of Portugal.

With a career spanning more than two decades, Mariza has amassed a wealth of distinctions: more than 50 platinum records, nominations for several Grammy Awards, prestigious international awards and distinctions, and critical acclaim that has established her as one of the greatest voices in World Music.

Much more than a performer, Mariza is a symbol: an heir to the Portuguese state of mind, a cultural ambassador, and an artist who has reinvented herself without ever losing her roots. Her music is emotional, a bridge between tradition and modernity, memory and future.

In 2026, she celebrates a unique career with the release of a new album that reflects her journey and announces a new artistic phase, an even bolder, more global, and timeless Mariza.
