It’s not easy to bring an international pop diva to perform at Wake Forest. That does not, however, mean that it’s impossible, says Secrest Artists Series artistic director Scott Klein.
On Thursday, Oct. 22, Portuguese pop and fado singer Mariza gave a concert in Wait Chapel as part of the university’s Secrest Artists Series.
The concert was the first stop on the singer’s North American tour to promote her new album Mundo, which comes out in January in North America.
For those who don’t know, fado is a traditional Portuguese music form that originated on the streets of 19th century Lisbon as a sort of storytelling.
