This past weekend we had the good fortune to witness one of the most electrifying live performances I've ever seen. It was the last concert in a three-month North American tour by Portugese fado queen Mariza at the wonderful Parmount Oakland. What a stage presence -- captivating, sexy, and totally charming. And the voice... truly amazing in its richness and complexity. Did I mention the extraordinarily talented backing musicians? It was a night to remember. It's almost impossible to capture a personality like that on CD, but new album Terra would be a great place to start for the uninitiated.
Otherwise, if you ever have a chance to see her live, do yourself a favor.....

About Me
- Tom David
- Menlo Park, CA, United States
- I'm a lifelong music fan and was lucky to grow up during the Golden Age of American pop music, from the birth of rock n' roll in the 50's to the San Francisco and Los Angeles music scenes of the 60's and 70's. I grew up on Border Radio (XERB) and free form FM radio which introduced me to multiple genres of music. This blog is a modest way of trying to share my passion with others who are curious about music that may not be featured in today's mainstream media.
