IVOS 2: ΚΕΙΜΕΝΑ,ΕΙΚΟΝΕΣ

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,  Moura was 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 fad

Maria do Carmo Carvalho Rebelo de Andrade   (born 20 August 1984, in Lisbon),  better known as Carminho ,  is a Portuguese fado and popular music singer. She comes from a family of musicians, since her mother, Teresa Siqueira, was a famous fado singer. She is considered one of the most talented and innovative fado singers of her generation . She can be considered as a crossover artist, since her eclectic work shows the heritage of traditional and contemporary fado, as she also dwells into other genres, like Portuguese folk music, Brazilian popular music, jazz, pop, and rock. Carminho earned stardom status in Spain after being featured on Pablo Alborán's "Perdóname" which was a number-one single in the Spanish charts. Carminho's albums Fado and Alma have achieved Platinum and Gold status in Portugal selling more than 50,000 copies combined.  Discography -Studio albums  1. ''Fado'' .  Released: 22 May 2009
