Described by Examiner as “a torch singer with Mediterranean qualities,” exquisite vocalist Ana Moura possesses a sound unlike any other in fado. Her voice strolls freely through the Portuguese tradition, flirting elegantly with pop and broadening the soul-bearing genre to stunning results. The BBC raves, “her melancholic intimacy dominates the moment it sashays out of the speakers…setting a mood of mesmerizing sorrow.” Moura has a voice “made for melodrama…aesthetically thrilling and emotionally heartbreaking.” The artist released her seventh full length album, Desfado, in 2013, which was voted the Best World Music Recording of the Year by The Sunday Times of Lisbon.
