  • A Conversation with Fado Singer Ana Moura
    Preview CMA VIVA! & Gala: a conversation with Fado singer Ana Moura by Mike Telin Why is it that Fado, the traditional soulful music of Portugal, has been embraced by audiences around the world? “I think more people are trying to discover new musical sounds that can make them feel different things and Fado has [a way of doing that],” says Fado superstar Ana Moura. On Friday, March 22nd beginning at 7:30 pm in Gartner Auditorium, Ana Moura will share the music from her latest album Desfado and other traditional Fado songs as part of the Cleveland Museum of Art’s VIVA! & Gala series. We spoke to Ana Moura by telephone in California, and talked about her new album, growing up in a musical family, and her past musical projects with the Rolling Stones and Prince. We began by asking her how she describes the Fado sound? Ana Moura: It’s very complicated to explain. I think it’s music that comes from the soul so it is very private. Actually there are many different styles of voices in Fado. There are many singers with higher voices with very clean notes, and then there are some with more of a dark voice. I think Fado is like soul music [in the States]. Mike Telin: Did you grow up in a musical family? AM: Yes, my family sang Fado and other styles of traditional music. My father plays gui- tar and sings and my mother also sings. All of my mother's family, her sisters and my grandmother all sing quite well, but they never did it professionally.
