Ana Moura

Ana Moura is an internationally recognised Portuguese fado singer, and the youngest faddist to be nominated for a Dutch Edison Award. Her impressive vocal range has enchanted audiences worldwide and the sheer power in this singer's voice is reason enough to go and see her perform live. Her latest album 'Desfado' was a huge commercial hit in her native Portugal and has gained her even more international notoriety.

Her show puts the songwriter in central focus, as mood lighting illuminates her body as she moves fluidly around as she weaves tales of love and harmony in that beautiful Portuguese language. Often performing a cover of Joni Mitchell's 'A Case Of You' in her distinctive accent, the crowds applaud loudly as the final notes are played. Her rapport with the backing band is great to see, they all appear to enjoy performing the singer's discography and she thanks them throughout her performance.

The audience are really responsive to the new hit material, the opening bars of title track 'Desfado' evokes small cheers from the crowd whilst 'Até ao verão' is fast becoming a fan favourite. Currently touring the US & Canada, including a stop at New York's prestigious Highline Ballroom, any fans of world music are encouraged to get tickets now.
