Life and career
Arnauth was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in October 1974, and her career began in 1995 when she was invited by João Braga to participate in a concert at S. Luis's Theater.
She released her debut album in 1999, which won the award for Best Upcoming Voice from the weekly magazine Blitz.{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}} She performed concerts in the Netherlands, Denmark, and Italy, as well as at the Centro Cultural de Belém in Lisbon.
Her second album, Esta Voz Que Me Atravessa (English: This voice that goes through me) was released in 2001, produced by Amélia Muge and José Martins. Andreas Dorschel praised the album, writing that: "capable of the tenderest nuances of voice, [Mafalda Arnauth] ingeniously counterbalances them with a roughness that calls to mind fado's subcultural origins".Dorschel, Andreas (2015). 'Ästhetik des Fado.' In: Merkur 69, no. 2, pp. 79–86, pp. 81-82 ([http://volltext.online-merkur.de/?m=v&link=/daten/www.online-merkur.de/mr_2015_02_0079-0086.pdf&session=6443D66C37DBE8A8AD68F893D0263D72/ article online])
