Who is Mafalda Arnauth?

Mafalda Arnauth is a fado singer. She was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in October 1974 and started her career in 1995 when invited by João Braga to participate in a concert at S. Luis's Theater.

Arnauth released a debut album in 1999. It received positive reviews and won the Prize for Best Upcoming Voice by the weekly magazine Blitz. She performed concerts in the Netherlands, in the Louisiana Centre, and in Italy at the festival Sete-Sois, Sete-Luas and the Centro Cultural de Belém.

Her second album, Esta voz que me atravessa was released in 2001, produced by Amélia Muge and José Martins. Her next album Encantamento was self-produced.
