Mariza (born in 1973 in Mozambique) is a fado singer-songwriter on the World Connection label. She moved to Portugal when she was three, and was raised in one of the most traditional quarters of Lisbon, Mouraria -- Alfama, where she learned how to sing fado. She has a Portuguese father but her mother is from Mozambique. Mariza is considered by many as a more contemporary follower of Amália Rodrigues, and has covered a number of her songs.
