Concerto em Lisboa is an album released on November 6, 2006 by fado singer Mariza. It was nominated in 2007 for a Latin Grammy in the category of Best Folk Album.
Production
The album was released on both DVD and CD. Recorded in 2005, the concert took place in the gardens in front of Torre de Belém, a famous and beautiful neighborhood of Lisbon, with a magnificent view of the city and on the bank of the Tagus. Mariza's voice soared out over the orchestra conducted by Jaques Morelenbaum, enrapturing the assembled audience. The set was perfect for an evening that everyone who witnessed it will remember.
The orchestra, Sinfonietta de Lisboa, was conducted by Jaques Morelenbaum, the producer and arranger of Mariza's most recent album, Transparente, and also famous for being the man behind bossanova artist Caetano Veloso during the past 15 years.
Arrangement
Concerto em Lisboa contains not only stunning live interpretations of the songs from Transparente but also from Mariza's first and second albums, re-arranged for orchestra—including "Medo", "Há uma música do Povo", "Meu Fado Meu', "Cavaleiro Monge", "Há Palavras Que Nos Beijam", and "Ó Gente Da Minha Terra"—performances that will transport the listener to a timeless evening in Lisbon.
- "I lived in a traditional Lisbon neighbourhood and have always sung the fado - I know what it is, I understand myself through it." – Mariza
