World Music: Mariza, "Oiça lá ó Senhor Vinho"
(Portugal) Although we usually associate fado with dark, fatalistic messages, there is a repertoire of 'happy' fado. "Oiça lá ó Senhor Vinho' comes from this repertoire, and is as hearty and boisterous a drinking song as any. Taken from a live concert DVD, this is an opportunity to see the diva literally wade out into the audience and connect to her fans through her catchy tune. It's infectious fun, with Mariza even throwing in a catlike growl. Drink it up!
