Ana Moura Tickets

This was the second time my husband and I have seen Ms. Moura in concert. She was wonderful! We do not understand one word of Portuguese, but what does that matter with a performer who is so beautiful and emotive and interacts so movingly with her oh-so-talented accompanying musicians?. We loved the performance! May she come back to NYC soon.

Beautiful music. She has a great voice her band was wonderful.

Ana Moura is a member of the new generation of singers who will present fado to international audiences. She displayed her tremendous voice and connected effectively with the audience. She was poised and charming; she captivated the audience. Bring her back to New York often!!!!

I wish this show was longer Ana Moura brought a taste of Portugal to NYC. She was so graceful and elegant! I can't wait to see her again!

This was our first time discovering Fado live. Ana Moura was compelling, romantic, sexy and fun! Her voice is an incredible instrument. The musicians were superb especially the Portuguese guitartist. The acoustics at Town Hall are fantastic. A great night of music and culture.

She's an amazing artist with a fantastic voice but that venue did not suit her voice!

She has the voice of an angel, is beautiful and so, so talented! I can not wait to see her perform again.

Went expecting to hear the folksy music from Portugal we have heard many times, and yet could never say we had been blown away by. Until this concert by Ana Moura and her band. About the last first: younger-aged, yet tight ensemble, playing off of one another like old jazz artists, it was cool to watch their jamming; even cooler to hear. This is not your grandfather's fado: they played a few old standards but even those were with a singular modern twist. There were more contemporary pieces that seemed to take as their inspiration the music of Brazilian masters, yet one has to ask which came first, in this case, for indeed it could as well have been fado that inspired Brazilian samba. The Portuguese guitar was masterfully presented (it was a shame not to have noted anywhere on the program the names of the players, so I cannot render them here); the acoustic bass and guitars, each also having their moment to shine in a solo here or there, also were refreshingly downplaying their true abilities until the audience gave them a reason to, and this, I might add, is a true Portuguese attitude: to not throw oneself on one's listener, to always hold something back, so as to test the waters first. However there was nothing reserved about Miss Moura from the first moment she entered the stage (quietly, more like sashayed onto the stage) in her all -black designer gown that hommaged the Latino or flamenco traditions, that she could play with and use to her distinct advantage, to shimmy, tease and outright flaunt her amazing figure...but it wasn't about her looks, that had my college-aged daughter sighing over her "serious girl-crush right now" , ( can't imagine what my post-grad son was feeling) nor about her jet-black, long hair that complemented said gown and made me think of Odette the black swan, but her arms and hands, energized extensions of her psyche; her haunting voice, that doesn't leave your mind for days after, and then only to return at totally unexpected moments, to make you break down and weep, or just lose yourself in thought---this is not only a singer--- this is a legend, a true diva of fado and jazz, who remains approachable, onstage or off. One with the soul of an entire people in her throat. When she gives it up, she gives it all. Forget the commercialized singers we have been forced to hear and watch as they try to outdo one another , to ever-more disappointing effect. Treat yourself to this concert, and to a CD, and don't look back.

Excellent selection of popular and modern fados. Ana has a wonderful voice and her band's brilliant. Enjoyed her interaction with public and accessibility. Got her CD and autograph w/o much trouble or long lines. Nice setting and wonderful logistics.

Wonderful fado music, great band. LOVE the sound of the Portuguese Guitar!!! Refreshing to hear world music.
