Mariza With Special Guests Derek Gripper & Duo Andalus

Sun, Nov 1, 20266:00 PM

New Jersey Performing Arts Center — Newark, NJ

Much more than a performer, Mariza is a symbol: an heir to the Portuguese state of mind, a cultural ambassador, and an artist who has reinvented herself without ever losing her roots. Her music is emotional, a bridge between tradition and modernity, memory and future.
