Ana Moura began performing as a pop and rock singer in a local band before turning to Portugal’s symbolic genre, fado. By chance, the popular fado singer Maria de Fe overheard Moura singing at a party and invited her to perform at her café. Quickly, her contralto singing attracted local television producers and her reputation spread to Lisbon. Newspapers glowed about the "rare and primitive quality" in her voice and Moura became part of a new generation of fado singers that tackle contemporary issues.
