Maritza

¿Quién eres? (Who are you?), the new show by singer-songwriter Maritza, offers 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. The album is 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 at a young age 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, all backed by organic orchestrations with an emphasis on strings. She follows in the musical footsteps of Chavela Vargas, Lhasa de Sela, Natalia Lafourcade, and Silvana Estrada.
