Moura

Description

Sixth album that takes up with a warm and vibrant emotion the traditions of fado but makes it accessible to a general audience. There is no fado voice like that of Ana Moura. It is a voice that wanders freely in the corners of tradition, but which digs in a very personal way into the extent of this form of song born in Lisbon. And also, takes the time to elegantly flirt with pop music. What distinguishes her from others, however, is not only this deep and sensual timbre that few are capable of reproducing, but especially this ability to immediately transform any melody to which Ana lends her voice into fado. Ana Moura's career is currently the most vibrant, the most flourishing, of all the performers from her country, as evidenced by some 300,000 records sold, a dozen awards (including two Golden Globe awards, two Prémio Amália, and her nomination 'Best Artist' at the 'Songlines Music Awards'), and not to mention her collaborations with music icons such as Prince, The Rolling Stones, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and Herbie Hancock.
