When fado queen Mariza’s debut release reached quadruple platinum in Portugal, world music critics declared, "A star is born." Her stardom was solidified by repeated quadruple platinum success, top Billboard placement and sold-out houses around the globe. Brazilian songwriter Ivan Lins proves why Ella, Barbra and Sarah Vaughan loved to sing his music. Mariza’s most recent CD, Terra (2008), featuring Lin’s jazz-tinged "As Guitarras," was nominated for a 2008 Latin Grammy® Award for Best Folk Album.
