Twenty-four hours ago, Paul and I were sitting in Rio Theater, enjoying Mariza and her band performing.
It was indeed a memorable show, with diverse audience (even though more than half of it consisted of Portuguese descendants or natives), supreme vocal and instrumental performance. Besides her wonderful rendition of Fado, Mariza displayed time and again her love and appreciation of her audience. Before the end of her last but one song, she came down from the stage, shaking hands systematically with us audience. She ended her concert by throwing away her microphone, singing purely as she used to do when she started her Fado career at age of 5. Joined her singing as well are her two favorite musicians, guitar and Portuguese guitar players.
What a night. We ended our evening by treating ourselves to her latest album: Terra.
