Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Ana Moura was a rock singer in her native Portugal before succumbing the lure of fado, a folk-music tradition related to American blues, Argentinean tango, Greek rembetika, and even more closely to Brazilian choro and Cape Verdean morna. Like its aforementioned cousins, fado originated on the wrong side of town. Black-clad shady ladies sang of romantic disappointments and life on the wild side. Although it is a poetry of despair, it is nonetheless sensuously melodic, as well as touchingly stoic, proud, and very adult. The slings of fortune are not met with cringing, but rather a sexy shrug. It has long since become somewhat gentrified but fado has retained all of its bittersweet passion and ability to break hearts, especially when interpreted by a vocalist of Ms. Moura's stature. Like the illustrious Amalia Rodrigues, her band is graced by the talents of composer-producer-arranger-guitarist Jorge Fernando, whose taste and elegance have fashioned a lush, string-driven acoustic setting for her luscious café-au-lait alto. Her soaring trills of ancient Moorish vintage rise above subterranean depths of grief and angst, seeming to pierce the very heavens with roundelays of indignant resignation. --Christina Roden

5.0 out of 5 stars THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL!!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2010

This cd is amazing. There is not one song that is not perfect (and there are 20 of them!). It is my favorite cd and I never seem to tire of listening to this incredible masterpiece of romance and beauty. The feeling, tenderness and emotion that Ms. Maoura's voice evokes is very difficult to describe. Since I am fluent in Spanish the Portuguese is easy to understand and enjoy. I recommend it to anyone that desires to spend quite time with the heart!

5.0 out of 5 stars Portugal's fado tradition.

I was just recently introduced to vocalist Ana Moura's music, the youngest and talented star to emerge from Portugal's fado tradition. I love this music. May not know what all she is singing about but I understand the feeling that is coming from her soul. I will buy more in the next month. Everyone should listen to Ana Moura just to relax, as back ground music.

Saw Ana Mourad live a few weeks ago. All of her work with pop artists aside, her voice and her skills is most evident in her Fado singing and this CDMA captures this marvelously!

I discovered Fado music and Ana Moura through a friend and purchased two of her albums, this one and Leva-me aos fados. They are both great: sultry, sad, dramatic, poetic, lyrical. Whether or not you understand portuguese, take a listen. My favorite of all of Moura's songs is on this album: Por Um Dia.

Ana is a very passionate artist. I had the opportunity to see her in concert in Ihla Terceira in the Azors and she was worth every single minute of it.
Nice voice, nice presentation, very down to earth girl.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ana Moura: extraordinary contemporary Fadista
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2008
After hearing a cut from her latest album on NPR, I immediately ordered it. It contains Ana's masterful singing and the best guitarists you will likely ever hear. Give this a listen to broaden your misical horizon! Highly recommended!

Musik ist Geschmackssache. Insofern ist jede Bewertung individuell zu sehen. Ana Moura mit ihrer charakteristischen eindrucksvollen Stimme bietet hier portugiesischen Fado vom Feinsten. Ein Genuss für Liebhaber, der nur durch ein Live-Konzert übertroffen wird.
