Portuguese singer Mariza begins a two-week North American tour in support of her newest album, Mundo, at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston Friday night. The tour then heads to New York City and Newark, followed by two additional shows in Massachusetts, in Amherst and New Bedford, and one night in Fairfield, Connecticut, and a stop in Toronto. Mariza then heads to the West Coast for a four-night residency at SFJAZZ in San Francisco and a concert in Seattle. She concludes her tour with a sold-out show in Vancouver on November 2.

Mundo was released in the United States on Nonesuch Records last month. Songlines recently presented Mariza with its award for Best Artist of the Year. The album is "not so much a reinvention as a bold expansion of her role as fado's foremost global ambassador," says the magazine. "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."

All About Jazz says: "Even if you don't understand a word of Portuguese, the enormity of Mariza's gift is immediately and intoxicatingly evident upon first hearing … Mundo is a sensually charged, wonderful album that is truly a work of art."

Mundo is available at iTunes, Amazon, and the Nonesuch Store, where CD orders include an instant download of the complete album at checkout, and the 88kHz/24bit HD digital album is available to purchase.
