Award-winning, chart-topping vocalist Ana Moura is the most successful and beloved fadista to appear in the 21st century. Her recordings have consistently sold well and her global concert tours are consistent sellouts. She was born in the historic city of Santarem, on the Tejo River north of Lisbon. As a girl, Moura was steeped in fado and its traditions, brought up in a family where the music was valued and loved, sung at home and at family gatherings. Though she experimented in adolescence with pop and rock music, singing in local bands, Moura's commitment to fado never waned. Even in pop shows, she would include some fado in the repertoire. Moura's shift in emphasis toward her national music began at age 20 when she wandered into one of the many fado houses in her region with a group of friends. Encouraged by friends to sing for the guitarists and aficionados who were gathered there, Moura was received warmly. She became a regular in the local fado culture. At a casual Christmas party that same year, Moura was discovered by the famous Maria de Fe, who invited Moura to come and sing with her at her house. Her love for the music grew with her reputation, and she began appearing on local television and throughout the regional press.

strange cuts and lazy takes, one more archive of shameless low-fi music!

Blabär is a label based in Berlin, offering electronically produced music on the one hand and recorded acoustic music on the other hand. Both interact. And both benefit from each other.

Blåbärs music smells like fir needles in a fume-soaked street, tastes like the last cigarette in the middle of nowhere and feels like a forest floor in a subway train.

I have been in the music world for about 2 years seriously, although have been doing the dance music for about 6 months, as I previously sung and wrote acoustic music. Youtube address Mrjep1234. Dance/trance/techno/house has always been my kind of scene though. Anyway, I hope you like my music, I am getting there slowly but surely with the producing side.... If you like my stuff, please follow me on facebook....... http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jackel/326434530700054
