Mariza's stage presence is nothing if not hypnotic. One wonders how a voice as powerful, melancholy (as in sweet, her words), full of life's tragedies, wonder, joy and compassion can come from such a tall slender body. It does, however, and we are all bask in her elegant talent. Add to the mix, three wonderfully talented, unassuming front men and a drummer possessed of the spirit of Keith Moon and you have a mix of the ethereal and audacious, both raucous and divine. Kudos to DU for bringing this incredible woman to Denver to allow, at least some of us, the opportunity to kneel at the altar of fado and learn.
