Ana Moura ...
Award-winning, chart-topping vocalist Ana Moura is the most successful and beloved fadista to appear in the 21st century. Her recordings have consistently sold well and her global concert tours are consistent sellouts. She was born in the historic city of Santarem, on the Tejo River north of Lisbon. As a girl, Mourawas steeped in fado and its traditions, brought up in a family where the music was valued and loved, sung at home and at family gatherings. Though she experimented in adolescence with pop and rock music, singing in local bands, Moura's commitment to fado never waned. Even in pop shows, she would include some fado in the repertoire. Moura's shift in emphasis toward her national music began at age 20 when she wandered into one of the many fado houses in her region with a group of friends at age 20. Encouraged by friends to sing for the guitarists and aficionados who were gathered there, Moura was received warmly. She became a regular in the local fado culture. At a casual Christmas party that same year, Moura was discovered by the famous Maria de Fe, who invited Moura to come and sing with her at her house. Her love for the music grew with her reputation, and she began appearing on local television and throughout the regional press.
Her debut album, Guarda-me a Vida Na Mão from Universal Music, appeared in 2003 and garnered critical acclaim. Her sophomore release, Aconteceu, was even bigger in scale, placing on the international charts and laying the ground for her breakthrough, Para Além da Saudade, in 2007. Its singles "Os Buzios" and "Fado da Procura" landed high on the charts in Portugal and netted her television appearances on programs such as Family Contact and Superstar as well as Golden Globe nominations. The album stayed on the Portuguese charts for 120 weeks. Also in 2007, she appeared on-stage singing withMick Jagger when the Rolling Stones played her country. In 2009, Prince, a fan of fado and of Moura, traveled to Paris to catch one of her concerts. That summer, she appeared with him at the Super Bock Super Rock Festival in Meco. Moura released her next album, Leva-me Aos Fados, late in the year. It went platinum during its first week on the shelves, and netted four chart-topping hit singles: the title track, "Caso Arrumado," "Rumo ao Sul," and "Fado Vestido de Fado."
In September 2010, Moura accepted an invitation from the Frankfurt Radio Bigband to perform two concerts in the German city. She reciprocated and asked the jazz orchestra to accompany her at homecoming concerts at the Lisbon and Porto Coliseums in April 2011. Her next album, Desfado, issued in 2013, spent 150 weeks on the Portuguese charts and was certified quintuple platinum. Moura supported its release by touring the globe, giving performances on a variety of important world stages including N.Y.C.'s Carnegie Hall. A hit live album with an accompanying concert film followed Desfado in 2014. Her next studio offering, Moura, hit the top spot on various international charts upon its release in November 2015, with a world tour in support. The album was released in the United States in April, 2016.
(Artist Biography by Evan C. Gutierrez)
Φάδο, που στα πορτογαλικά σημαίνει μοίρα ή πεπρωμένο, ονομάζεται ένα είδος μουσικής που εντοπίζεται τη δεκαετία του 1820 στην Πορτογαλία, σίγουρα όμως είχε παλαιότερες ρίζες. Η μουσική είναι μελαγχολική, το ίδιο κι οι στίχοι, που συχνά μιλούν για τη θάλασσα ή για τη ζωή των φτωχών. Η μουσική έχει σχέση με την πορτογαλική λέξη saudade, μια από τις δυσκολότερες λέξεις προς μετάφραση: είναι ένα είδος προσμονής, αλλά κι ένα μείγμα νοσταλγίας, λύπης, πόνου, ευτυχίας και αγάπης. Κάποιοι λάτρεις της μουσικής φάδο ισχυρίζονται ότι οι ρίζες της είναι ένα μείγμα της μουσικής των σκλάβων της Αφρικής με την παραδοσιακή μουσική των Πορτογάλων ναυτών και αραβικές επιρροές.
Υπάρχουν δυο κύριες παραλλαγές της μουσικής φάδο, τα φάδο της Κόιμπρα, που είναι πιο εκλεπτυσμένα, και τα φάδο της Λισαβόνας, που είναι και τα δημοφιλέστερα.
Φάδο της Κοΐμπρα:Τα παραδοσιακά φάδο της Κοΐμπρα προέρχονται από τις ακαδημαϊκές παραδόσεις του πανεπιστημίου της πόλης. Τραγουδιούνται μόνο από άνδρες, οι οποίοι είναι γενικά ντυμένοι στα μαύρα, όπως κι οι μουσικοί, καθώς είναι το παραδοσιακό ακαδημαϊκό ένδυμα.Ένα σύνολο τραγουδιστών και μουσικών ονομάζεται tuna, ομάδες που υπάρχουν σε όλα τα πανεπιστήμια της Πορτογαλίας. Εξάλλου, κάθε χρόνο στο Πόρτο γίνεται διεθνής συνάντηση ομάδων φάδο και από πανεπιστήμια της Ισπανίας, της Ιταλίας και της Αργεντινής.
Φάδο της Λισαβόνας :Τραγουδιέται τόσο από άνδρες όσο και γυναίκες σε δημόσιους χώρους ή σε casas de fado, στα σπίτια του φάδο, ενώ είναι πιο χαρούμενο από τα φάδο της Κόιμπρα.
Ποτισμένο από την υγρασία του Ατλαντικού- με μια γλυκιά μελαγχολία να «στάζει» στη μουσική και στα λόγια,ξεχωριστό μέσα στις μουσικές του κόσμου, το φάδο ακολουθεί τη μοίρα του -αυτό άλλωστε σημαίνει, από το λατινικό ''fatum''- στον 21ο αιώνα, γλυκά παραδομένο στα χείλη των νέων φαντίστας που έχουν αναλάβει να το ταξιδέψουν σε καινούργιες κορυφές...

Ana Moura - ''Desfado''
Ana Moura - ''Desfado''
''Desfado'' lyrics-Portuguese
Quer o destino que eu não creia no destino
E o meu fado é nem ter fado nenhum
Cantá-lo bem sem sequer o ter sentido
Senti-lo como ninguém, mas não ter sentido algum
Ai que tristeza, esta minha alegria
Ai que alegria, esta tão grande tristeza
Esperar que um dia eu não espere mais um dia
Por aquele que nunca vem e que aqui esteve presente
Ai que saudade
Que eu tenho de ter saudade
Saudades de ter alguém
Que aqui está e não existe
Sentir-me triste
Só por me sentir tão bem
E alegre sentir-me bem
Só por eu andar tão triste
Ai se eu pudesse não cantar "ai se eu pudesse"
E lamentasse não ter mais nenhum lamento
Talvez ouvisse no silêncio que fizesse
Uma voz que fosse minha cantar alguém cá dentro
Ai que desgraça esta sorte que me assiste
Ai mas que sorte eu viver tão desgraçada
Na incerteza que nada mais certo existe
Além da grande incerteza de não estar certa de nada
* * *
''Desfado'' lyrics - English language
[Fado of opposities (Un-fado)]
It's my destiny's wish that I don't believe in destiny
My fado song1 is to have no fado song to sing
It's to sing it without having even felt it
To sense it like no one else, but being senseless at the same time
Oh how sad this joy that I have is
Oh how glad, this deep sadness!
To wait that someday I won't be wainting one more day
For someone that never arrives and that has been present here
Oh how I long
To have something to long for
To have longings for someone
That has been here and does not exist
To feel sad
Just because I'm feeling so well and happy
To feel happy
Just because I'm feeling so sad
Oh If only I could sing no more "if only I could"s
And feel sorry just for not having anything to be sorry about
Maybe I could hear, then, as I fell silent,
A voice of my own here inside me, singing about someone
Oh what misfortune, this good luck befallen on me!
Oh what good luck to live in such an unfortunate manner
With the incertitude that no thing is more certain
Than the great incertitude of being certain about nothing
