Though she's known as the reigning "queen of the fado" in her native Portugal, Mariza travels beyond the influences of artists like Amalia Rodrigues, Misia, and Joel Pina to explore more international musical terrain. Her fourth studio album draws from folk, jazz, flamenco, and African influences (Mariza herself is of combined Portuguese and Mozambiquan heritage), but expect tonight's Disney Hall show to focus fully on the fado — the nostalgic song style that evokes mourning, deep longing, and loss, currently enjoying a renaissance in electronica.
