Nonesuch Records releases Portuguese singer Mariza's newest album, Mundo, in the United States on September 9, 2016. The album's opening track, "Rio de Mágoa," can now be heard below and may be downloaded instantly with pre-orders of the album on iTunes and in the Nonesuch Store. The song is a classic fado that establishes who Mariza is and where she came from. The release of "Rio de Mágoa" follows the release of another album track, "Maldição," which is also included with pre-orders.

Mundo, which is the Portuguese word for "world," was released internationally last fall to critical acclaim. Songlines named Mariza its Best Artist for the year and called her album "not so much a reinvention as a bold expansion of her role as fado's foremost global ambassador. Adding sparkling pop ballads and subtle washes of electronica to her traditional roots, Mundo was an unalloyed triumph, her artistry hitting dynamic new heights and her voice expressing every emotional nuance, whether singing a gentle and intimate lullaby for her young son or melodramatically letting rip on the high notes with the force of an operatic diva."

Mariza returns to North America this fall, with dates in Boston, New York, and San Francisco, among other cities; for the latest and to purchase tickets, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

    Yasmin Williams stopped by Acoustic Guitar to perform songs from her new album, Acadia, and more and to discuss the album. You can watch the session here. "Yasmin Williams is known for extending the boundaries of solo fingerstyle guitar, with progressive techniques and original compositions that blossom out of traditional folk and roots touchstones," writes Acoustic Guitar's Joey Lusterman. "On her latest record, Acadia, she expands her distinctive sound world even further." Williams kicks off a US tour later this month.
