Fado em Mim is the debut studio album of Portuguese fado singer Mariza, released in April 2002 by Dutch label World Connection. A special collectors' edition, containing an additional CD with 8 live tracks recorded at the WOMAD 2002, was released later.

Release

[edit]

Fado em Mim, Mariza's debut studio album, was initially rejected by Portuguese labels, who were uneasy working with an unproven artist.[4] The album was picked up by Dutch label World Connection and was later released in 32 countries.[4][5]

Reception

[edit]

In January 2004, Mariza was awarded the European Border Breakers Award for the international sales of Fado em Mim.[6]
