I was there that night, 6th September 2005, near the Torre de Belem. This was an electrifying, spine-tingling final song, an unforgettable performance as this simple, modest girl who lives to sing fado struggled against her own emotions to deliver this powerful fado to a "home" audience of 15,000 Lisboetas and was carried through by them and the guitarist. Pure, magical joy. What a night...

Simply wonderful, full of dignity and mesmeric power...so very moving
Thankyou xx Auds
Very powerful song & performance by Marissa..So touching that it made wishful of my own "terra natal".I love Lisbon but i never feel i belong and im here because my hands are tied ( for better or for worse) There´s really no place like home..
Thanks for sharing this video,I live so near Torre de Belem and i never get to watch this concert, i would have enjoyed it for sure.
Muitas felicidades para ti Stewart!
Procura ser rodeado das coisas bonitas e pessoas alegres. Não sei bem qual e razão porque te sentes preso em "Siberia" mas so tu propria que pode mudar o rumo da tua vida! Há muita gente com ombros pesados e para mim há sempre solução em cada "trials" que vem no nosso caminho." Where there´s a will, there´s a way"

Aurora, shame on you for missing it! There were posters all over the city for a few weeks before. And haven't you seen the concert on RTP2, that was shown on 1st January & then again 4 or 5 weeks ago? She is now doing a tour with the orchestra in pefect castle locations, like Palmela and Óbidos. If I could, I would go to all of them!
Agrade-me os teus pensamentos, assim como a tua presença. Já escrevi logo no início que sinto-me com uma necessidade de o escever, desta forma, principalmente para mim próprio. Se calhar, me liberta do peso um bocadinho.
Quanto aos motivos e Sibéria, tudo vai ser revelado logo, pois me conheço muito bem. Tem raizes particulares e foram plantados há muito tempo atrás. Vais ler...
I´m guilty as charged Stewart!Never saw any of the concerts you mentioned not even on TV. Maybe it was shown at the same time of a football game, hahahah!! It maybe the reason why i didnt see any of it.Well, i´ll just have to be content listening to the CD´s of music i enjoy. Will try to convince hubby to buy a ticket in one of Marissa´s concert. We´ll see...
I love Mariza - have two of her CD's. It's so wonderful that the next generation is continuing this wonderful musical tradition. She is supposed to perform here in New Jersey in the fall; we'll be sure to get tickets to see her.
