Portuguese fado sensation Mariza has once again surprised her fans by diving into the vault of traditional fado to deliver a completely reimagined version of one of her iconic songs, this time with a modern twist. The internationally renowned artist teamed up with Supa Squad, a Portuguese duo known for blending reggae, dancehall, and urban beats, for a unique fusion of genres that brings new life to the classic.

The collaboration marks a bold step for Mariza, who is no stranger to pushing the boundaries of fado, a deeply traditional music style rooted in Portuguese culture. By blending her soulful, melancholic fado sound with Supa Squad’s energetic, Caribbean-inspired beats, the track delivers an innovative take on what was once seen as an untouchable classic.

Speaking about the collaboration, Mariza said, "Fado is part of my soul, but I’ve always believed it’s a living genre, capable of evolving. Working with Supa Squad allowed me to bring a fresh perspective to a song I hold dear, while still honoring its essence."

Supa Squad’s contribution to the track is undeniable, with their vibrant beats and contemporary production giving the song a youthful energy. "It was an honor to work with Mariza, and we wanted to respect the roots of fado while adding our own flavor. This fusion of styles is what makes Portuguese music so exciting today," they said.

Fans have been buzzing about the collaboration since its release, with many praising Mariza's ability to balance tradition with innovation, all while introducing a new generation to the emotional depth of fado through modern sounds.

The new track is not only a testament to Mariza’s versatility as an artist but also a celebration of Portugal’s rich musical heritage, reimagined for the contemporary global stage.
