  • Bio

    With 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 is presently working on her debut album "Silêncio", the first collection of original fado songs to be recorded in the UK since the great Portuguese Fado diva Amália Rodrigues recorded at Abbey Road Studios in 1952. "Silêncio" will be released worldwide by World Village/Harmonia Mundi with a UK release date scheduled for 31 October 2011. 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 Queen Elisabeth Hall (Southbank Centre), Momo and Heaven, in London, Royal Theatre in Norwich, and St George's in Bristol. Her shows have been recorded and broadcasted by BBC Radio 3. Since 2006 she has frequently organised successful Fado events, adding live Portuguese poetry to create complete cultural celebrations. In 2008 she began writing her own lyrics and composing her own original songs with guitarist Javier Moreno. The great success achieved by her songs and the public's amazing response to them inspired and motivated her to record "Silêncio". "Silêncio" will be launched at Kings Place (Hall One), in London, on 2nd November, as part of LIFEM: London International Festival of Exploratory Music, followed by a UK tour (7 dates in total already confirmed). The album will be a showcase of both her powerful voice and her unique original songs. The first fados to be written in the UK, these songs deal with the traditional Fado themes of life, destiny, longing and despair. Fado (translated as destiny or fate) can be traced back to the 1820s in Portugal.
