Ana Moura is a prominent figure in Portuguese contemporary music, known particularly for her work in the fado genre, a music style that exemplifies the Portuguese soul, characterized by its melancholic and profound nature. Born in Santarém, Portugal, on September 17, 1979, Moura’s impassioned voice and striking presence have made her one of the leading voices in modern fado, bringing a fresh perspective to a traditional art form.

Her career has been marked by a series of successful albums and singles that have resonated both in Portugal and internationally. Albums like “Desfado” (2012), “Moura” (2015), and the expanded “Moura (Deluxe Version)” (2016) have helped to cement her reputation as a fado superstar. The album "Desfado" in particular is notable for its contemporary approach to the genre and includes one of her most recognized songs, the eponymous track "Desfado". Her talent has garnered her numerous awards and she has captivated audiences worldwide with her stirring performances, which often go beyond fado, touching on genres such as pop and jazz. With her latest releases like "Vinte Vinte" and the soulful ballad "Andorinhas," Ana Moura continues to demonstrate her versatility and her ability to connect with a global audience while honoring the deep roots of her musical heritage.
