Tuesday 22 January – ANA MOURA + support<\/b><\/p>\n

Often referred to as the Portuguese blues and sparked by a remarkable generation of young singers, fado has emerged over the past decade or so as a major force on the world music scene. One of its brightest lights, with a voice like no other, is that of award-winning and chart-topping Ana Moura.<\/p>\n

With a singular gift for inhabiting the lyrics, she captures the soul of the iconic fadista, while at the same time embodying fado\u2019s contemporary spirit. Ana grew up steeped in fado and its traditions, and although she experimented with pop and rock music during adolescence, her commitment to fado never waned and she became a regular in the local fado culture, releasing her first album to critical acclaim in 2003.<\/p>\n

She captured the attention of Caetano Veloso, Mick Jagger, and Prince, which brought about inspired crossover collaborations and performances. Ana released her fifth full-length album, ‘Desfado’, in 2013, which is still in the Portuguese charts and was certified six times platinum, and her most recent release, Moura, is already certified three times platinum.<\/p>\n
