Mariza - Chuva - Fado

Mariza Reis Nunes (pron. IPA: [mɐ.'ɾi.zɐ]) (born December 16, 1973 in Mozambique) (then a Portuguese colony) is a Latin Grammy-nominated fado singer. She moved to Portugal when she was three, and was raised in one of the most traditional quarters of Lisbon, Mouraria and Alfama, where she learned how to sing fado. She has a Portuguese father but her mother hails from Mozambique (the song "Transparente" is a tribute to her African grandmother).
