"Portuguese vocalist Ana Moura, whose soulful and riveting interpretations of her land's captivating fado style, has become a major star in Europe. The 27-year-old singer is a leading exponent of this poetic, deeply expressive idiom which personifies the Portuguese psyche as it explores such universal themes as lost love, separation and longing. As Ana explains, "It's very special because it's all about emotions and feelings. It needs no translation." Her lilting contralto voice, natural beauty and alluring stage presence make an experience not to be missed."
