Description

after "does in me" (2001,) "fado curvo" (2003,) transparent (2005,) to which the stage register in cd and dvd "concert in lisboa" (2006) and dvd "live in london" (2004), mariza is returning, after three years, with a new album.

and new is the fulcral adjective to talk about land, the fourth studio album of the most international Portuguese artist.

"In the years of consecutive tours, in addition to taking my music, I was having contacts with different cultures and aesthetics. I was listening and understanding. I was assimilating until I got here, to the point that it is, at this moment, my truth. ora, if I was always true with the public and myself, there was no reason why this album did not give account of the evolution I was suffering, as a singer and as a person. I called it land, not only because I still have my feet well on it, but also the idea of travel, of course. it was inevitable, after going so far around the world."

Mariza does not need to deny anything to show an evolution that, all added and digested, was inevitable: to the prizes, honors, distinctions, which was obtained by this world outside, was joining the learning and the taste of those who walked all the ways of eyes and ears well open.

what happens on land is an invitation of the Portuguese guitar and the violation of fado to the guitar of an English, dominic miller (partner of sting twenty years ago) to the pianos of a Brazilian, ivan lins, and two Cubans, cucho valdês and ivan melon lewis, to the flamenco guitar of a Spanish, javier limón, to the percussion of another Spanish, piraña produced by javier limón, land is a disk in which they feel various influences; but when listening to it will realize that the link teima in being Portuguese.
