Mariana Arroja is an award winning Portuguese singer, composer, producer, and cultural advocate, renowned for reimagining Fado by fusing it with global sounds. Her music is a poignant celebration of "Saudade", blending tradition with innovation, weaving harp, jazz harmonies, and Brazilian influences into a fresh, emotionally charged sound.

As part of her California tour in late Spring–Summer 2025, Mariana debuts her highly anticipated debut album, My Name is No One (O meu nome é ninguém), a stunning work recorded at the studio of Brazilian virtuoso Yamandu Costa. With lyrics by one of Fado's most influential poets, Maria Manuel Cid, the album is a masterful blend of tradition and reinvention, where Mariana showcases her musical signature: a blend between the heart of Portuguese tradition and global music. 

Beyond her music, Mariana is a passionate advocate for endangered arts, with projects such as her song and documentary The Portuguese Calçada Knows You, which played a crucial role in the UNESCO World Heritage application for Portuguese pavement art and won numerous awards internationally.
