Events Description
¿Quién eres? (Who are you?), singer–songwriter Maritza’s show proposes a musical journey about resilience. Known for the depth of her songs and her ability to touch people’s hearts, Maritza released ¿Quién eres?, her first album in Spanish, in 2022. It’s an artistic project inspired by a process of self-empowerment.
Born in the Dominican Republic, Maritza reconnects in this show with her mother tongue, which she quickly forgot after being adopted very young by a Francophone couple from Quebec. She embraces her roots, infusing her lyrics with the rhythms of her long-lost Hispanic heritage.
The show she brings to the NAC is a sublime blend of songs in Spanish and French, folk, soul, indie and Latin influences, and warm and timeless sounds, backed by highly organic orchestrations with an emphasis on strings. She follows in the musical footsteps of Chavela Vargas, Lhasa de Sela, Natalia Lafourcade and Silvana Estrada.
Through haunting melodies and vocals, Maritza takes the listener on a cathartic voyage, transforming pain into poetry and uncertainty into art. With her magnetic stage presence, she lifts souls and dispenses a generous measure of love. Together with her musicians, she offers an intimate moment out of time, a source of comfort and light.
