Journey to the world of Portuguese Fado as interpreted by Ramana Vieira, a northern California native of Portuguese descent. She is joined by masterful musicians: Brad Bivens, guitar; Steve La Porta, percussion; and Ela Polak, violin.
The ensemble’s work captures traditional Fado and influences from the Portuguese diaspora in a musical tapestry that ranges from the whispering, haunting ballads of Fado, to American classics and jazzy blues.
Ramana is also a proficient pianist and a gifted songwriter having penned and composed her own original Fados, of which several have been nominated at the International Portuguese Music Awards.
