Release Notes:
Ana was born in SantarΘm (at the time there was no
Maternity in Coruche, where she grew up), the
bustling capital of the Ribatejo. Like young people
everywhere, she soon developed an appreciation for
other styles of music. The lure of singing fado,
however, never waned.
In her late teens, at a Christmas party that was
attended by a lot of fadistas (fado singers) and
guitarists, she sang again and, as fate would have
it, noted fado vocalist Maria de Fe was in the
audience and was duly impressed. Later that
evening, Ana Moura was invited to sing at her Fado
house û Sr. Vinho. It was a turning point in Ana
MouraÆs career.
In 2003 her first solo album was realease.
ôGuarda-me a Vida na Mπoö has received great
reviews from the media, but was also greatly
accepted by the audience, both Portuguese and
international. She starts to tour through out the
world, having performed at the prestigious Town
Hall, in the United States.
At the same time as the tremendous success of her
European concerts, Ana Moura began to work on her
next album, ôAconteceuö û released in 2004. The
selection of songs resulted ôAconteceuö, a double
record divided in two different theme areas: - the
first cd, called ôA Porta do Fadoö, approaches the
classic Fado and the second cd, named ôDentro de
Casaö, is all about traditional Fado. Jorge
Fernando, who also made most of the arrangements,
was the producer, like in her first album.
As the release of ôAconteceuö was happening, Ana
Moura is invited to perform at the prominent
Carnegie Hall in New York, as well in some other
North American cities. With sold out venue, she
became the first Portuguese singer performing on
this legendary New Yorker place.
Due to her international success, and with a
growing audience in the Netherlands, Ana Moura is
invited to do another tour there, performing this
time in a very special venue: the known
Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. She played in France,
United States and China too and was also nominated
to one of the most prestigious prizes in the World
Music area û the Edison Awards.
ItÆs about this time that Tim Ries (Rolling Stones
saxophonist who was delighted with AnaÆs voice,
which he met through a record he bought in Japan)
invites Ana Moura to participate in the 2nd volume
of the ôRolling Stones Projectö, a project
conceived by him. So, taking advantage of the
Stones concert in Oporto, Ana Moura records two
songs adapted to Fado by Jorge Fernando and
Cust≤dio Castelo. Later, in June 2007, Mick Jagger
and his invitation to come on stage at Alvalade XXI
Stadium, in front of 30 thousand people to sing ôNo
expectationsö with him, would surprise Ana Moura.
This invitation happened after a Rolling Stones
visit to the nightclub where Ana Moura usually
performs. From this friendship comes Tim Ries
participation (plays in ôA S≤s Com a Noiteö and as
author in ôVelho Anjoö) in the one that would be
the Ana MouraÆs third album.
At the end of 2006, Ana Moura started to record her
third original album that was released on the first
semester of 2007. In ôPara AlΘm da Saudadeö, Ana
Moura sings the traditional Fado Blac or Fado
Azenha, but still risks on some new songs and
partnerships, singing poems from Fausto (one of the
most important Portuguese singer-songwriters),
AmΘlia Muge and Nuno Miguel Guedes. Once again,
Jorge Fernando produced, wrote and composed some of
the songs of ôPara AlΘm da Saudadeö.After a small
tour in Germany and Holland, she toured from north
to south in Portugal, and presented herself, for
the first time, in Madeira. The culmination of an
incredible year was in October at Centro Cultural
de BelΘm (one of the greatest concert venues in
Lisbon). The venue was sold out to see live the
golden record ôPara AlΘm da Saudadeö. But not only
the Portuguese audience had the opportunity to hear
live songs like ôOs B·ziosö or ôO Fado da Procuraö,
Ana Moura also performed in Germany, Holland,
Italy, Japan and Czech Republic.
2008 started with a European tour around Holland,
Belgium, France, Germany and Spain, and also some
concerts in Portugal. Meanwhile, sheÆs presented
with a Platinum Record, for 20 thousand sold
records. But her success didnÆt pass by the
Portuguese people, as recently the Fundaτπo Amßlia
Rodrigues awarded her with the prize Best
Interpreter 2007.
In June, Ana Moura presents herself for the first
time in two of the most prestigious and magical
venues in Portugal: Coliseu do Porto and Coliseu
dos Recreios in Lisbon, both nights were considered
by the public and the critics, memorable. By her
side, Ana Moura had two very much-admired special
guests: Beatriz da Conceiτπo and Maria da FΘ, two
of the most significant names in the history of
Fado. Sharing these special concerts was also Jorge
Fernando, Ana MouraÆs musical producer and
accomplice.
This album features the recording from those two
concerts.
