T01072660736With a following to rival flamenco, the haunting melodies of Portuguese fado have always held listeners spellbound; Claudia Aurora is its powerful new voice. The singer-songwriter’s award-winning debut album ‘Silencio’ last year wowed the critics as the first collection of original fado songs to be recorded in the UK. Claudia Aurora is a fadista (fado singer) and songwriter from Oporto, Portugal. She is based in Bristol, UK since 2003 and has built a reputation as a stunning live performer. Claudia has sung Fado at numerous venues in Bristol and the UK, including the prestigious St George’s Bristol and Metropolis. Claudia Aurora sings fado - traditional Portuguese folk-blues - like no one else. We shouldn’t, perhaps, be surprised. After all, she enjoyed a thoroughly modern musical upbringing in the tiny village just outside Porto that was her childhood home, with fado only coming to the fore once she’d struck out for the UK and settled in Bristol. | |
