You may be able to assist me with a query re Mariza's manager/husband/percussionist. In the Lisboa concert, which percussionist is he? The dish [gorgeous guy!] with the short dark hair, long blonde hair or medium length, very curly dark hair. All very handsome men. Please, please, please, please can you tell me, if you know, which you must if you are handling her press, which is she married to. If possible, can you tell me also, the names of the other 2 guys, husband or not. Also, does Mariza have any children? How gorgeous would they be. I don't know how long she and Joao have been married either. Information on Mariza in Australia is sketchy at best. Thank God for the Internet. If you are able to tell me this for no other purpose than just to know, you are a legend. Lucky you having connection with Mariza. It must be something special to know her. I have all her albums and can sing with her. My Portuguese pronunciation is perfect thanks to her. The rest is yet to come. Thanking you. Fiona, Melbourne, Australia Dear Mr Crosby,

Fiona is right, his name is Luis GUEREIRO and he is unbelievable!! I watched a concert of Mariza in Lisbon and she introduced her band members, she gave Luis great credit.

Having had the privilege of handling all of Mariza's UK press, radio and TV PR since she started recording (i.e since 'Fado Em Mim'), and having seen her various bands many times, Luis is someone who has been a wonderfully inventive fixture for almost the whole of her career. He was featured prominently in a SONGLINES magazine 4-page feature on the Portuguese guitar by Simon Broughton (published in November 2007).

The name of the Portuguese guitarist is Luis Guerreiro--he owns a guitarra from Oscar Cardoso which has an open back. The name of the Spanish guitarist (AKA viola in Portuguese) is Antonio Neto--he is playing a Conde Hermanos from Madrid. The person who was playing the contra bass guitar is Vasco Sousa--he is playing an instrument made by Esteve in Spain.

You can see him on THIS YouTube video ("Gente da Minha Terra", above). They show a 'close-up' of him a couple of times. He's just marvelous!

I Googled 'Mariza' and there are many websites about HER. I've checked out a lot of them (In fact, that's how I stumbled onto THIS website),they really don't offer much information about her orchestra, if any at all. I even checked Amazon looking for grahics of her CD's to see if I could get any info from the insert. No luck. I'm surprised I got a reply to my 'plea' so quickly. Thanks!

The same thing seems to happen with Spanish flamenco artists. The singers gets all the attention while the brilliant guitarists are often treated as mere accompanists. There have also been some great Fado artists in the past who both play and sing at the same time, as in the anglophone singer-songwriter tradition. Anyway, it shouldn't be beyond the capabilities of the internet to find out the name of the guitarra portuguesa players with Mariza. Hi Connie,

While I believe that Mariza is magnificent and deserves her enormous following, I think it's a shame that her guitar trio isn't recognized for their talents. The one who strums the Portuguese Guitar has magical fingers. His talent is indescribable. I just want to know who he is. Somebody has to know.
