Around the World
Bescheidenheit ist nach wie vor eine Zier: »Es gibt keine perfekte Musik und keine perfekten Konzerte«, sagt Mariza, »weil auch das Leben nicht perfekt ist. Man kann nur versuchen, der Perfektion nahe zu kommen«. Und Portugals berühmteste Fado-Sängerin meint, was sie sagt. Doch wer Mariza schon live sah, widerspricht ihr schnell. Denn egal, welches Stück die Diva zur klagenden portugiesischen Gitarre auch anstimmt, so tut sie dies mit einer Magie, die Gänsehaut garantiert. Als erste Portugiesin überhaupt für einen Grammy nominiert und von der Unesco offiziell zur Bewahrerin des Fado ernannt, ergeht sich die hoch gewachsene Tochter eines Portugiesen und einer Mosambikanerin nicht in Purismus allein. Vielmehr bricht sie das starre Korsett des Fado-Genres oft auf und begibt sich stilistisch nach Brasilien, Spanien oder auf die Kapverden in Afrika, wo sie tief in die Welt von Morna, Jazz, Flamenco und Samba eintaucht. Aber wohin ihr Weg auch führt: Der Perfektion von allem, was Fado sein kann, kommt Mariza stets so nah wie seit Amália Rodrigues keine Zweite mehr.
