Standing out amid a very strong crop of young new fado singers, Mozambique-born Mariza returns with Transparente, her third album. While her second, Fado Curvo, announced her as a great new voice on the scene, this one reaffirms that flowering promise while expanding the depth of her range. She gets help from great Brazilian cellist, arranger and producer Jacques Morelenbaum, who adds a lush orchestral backdrop to this folksy torch song form, extending the bittersweet melodies even though it does file away some of the edges. No matter, the singer's phrasing and timing are calibrated for drama, and her voice soars with happiness or quivers with passion. Highlights include a panoramic version of the fado traditional "O Silencio da Guitarra" and a small group rendering of "Recusa." Her moving away from the tradition may trouble purist, but this album endears itself easily if given a listen. -- Tad Hendrickson

5 out of 5 stars superb.......2007-04-04

beautifully crafted album with not only Fado but African and Brazilian rhythms. A must for Mariza fans.

4 out of 5 stars modernistic fado.......2006-12-29

I enjoyed this CD very much. Mariza is a talented singer but far from the spectacular Amalia Rodrigues. Call me traditional if you will, I'm still a fan of the poise, dress and sound of old world Portugal. Regardless, this is an enjoyable CD for those wishing to experience fado. A good buy.

5 out of 5 stars MARIZA - A REAL ARTIST.......2006-11-03

Mariza is the best fado/popular singer since Amalia Rodrigues, the great classic fado singer. Her voice is outstanding. Such a hard style of music to sing and she does it so effortlessly. Yes, she is what you can call "MASTER OF HIS ART". This CD, like all her CD's are worthy of 5 stars, in my opinion.

3 out of 5 stars Not Mariza at her best, but still...........2006-08-29

This CD is slightly disappointing. It's much lighter in tone than the other material by Mariza I've bought, and I far preferred the tracks on Fado em Mim and, even better, Fado Curvo, which I think is wonderful. But then, once you've already got those, might as well get this, because she is truly magnificent. If you like fado, you can't fail to like her.

5 out of 5 stars Dark chocolaty-rich voice courts steafast sadness of fado.......2006-03-22

Gorgeous voice with simple settings of a quiet string orchestra and quintessential, spare Portuguese guitars, with a flute or accordion if needed. The dark, chocolaty richness of Mariza's voice naturally courts the quiet, steadfast, but deeply felt sadness of fado. This fado spirit colors everything on this CD, but given that, she displays a broad emotional palette, from utterly deep and dark to perky and romantically hopeful. Strong, compelling performance throughout, much stronger than I expected based on Fado Curvo. Stand-out: tr 13-Dues Lágrimas de Orvalho (slow, dark duet between Marizo and a Parisian street cello, full of pathos and hurt). [41:26]

5 out of 5 stars Seting off the pop dance craze again.......2000-06-15

This song hit it big in 1998 into 1999. With some awsome dance songs including "volar" and "no te extraño yo" and some pointless pop tunes this album is worht those two songs. The other songs offer some great music that will make you move as well but they just didn't do it for me. I mostly like the high energy. But overall a good album for anybody who likes pop music and like to dance. DJ box also worked on this album (he is known for making some of Minervas remixes).

    5 out of 5 stars Transparent (Transparent) - the best album in Portuguese that I have bougth.......2005-11-17

    Transparente is an excelent album by Mariza. An album that, for me, is best apreciated by those that live away from home and understand what is like to feel ''saudade'' (no possible translation to English). Without a doubt it would be an excelent gift for all those Portuguese that live away from the mother land, because you will feel that someone understands you and what you are going through.

    For those that do not speak Portuguese, in the booklet the poems are also written in english and french. And, you are able to feel the emotions through the way Mariza sings the songs.

    Thank you Mariza!!!!!
