ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Recognized by the New York Times as an American at the forefront of the fado resurgence, Ramana Vieira has also been described by Mundo Português newspaper as the “New Voice of Portuguese World Music.” She has received three international nominations with the International Portuguese Music Awards in 2015 and 2016. In addition to traditional fados and her masterful original compositions, Vieira has now compiled a synergetic repertoire that reflects the full scope of her identity by incorporating her background of American theater, blues, and soulful classics into her sets. Her repertoire captures traditional fado and influences from the Portuguese diaspora in a musical tapestry that ranges from whispering, haunting, ballads to jazzy blues. A proficient pianist and gifted songwriter, Vieira composes original fado-inspired compositions. Her authentic and individual style, brilliant musicality, and colorful heritage appeals to a wide audience.
