From Portugal
Fado's next all-conquering star
If you undertook some scientific research to discover which of the planet's musics was the most heartbreaking, the boffins would surely decree that that distinction resided with that most mournful of styles - fado. And Portugal has no shortage of young women queuing up to express their angst through the medium of fado, no doubt one eye on the international success of fadista-in-chief, Mariza. Ana Moura, one of the country's most cherished exponents of the style, has a more tender vocal style than her world-beating compatriot, a sweet lyricism softening each syllable, easing the sadness. Not that she lives in splendid isolation creating her anguished art - that diminutive pixie of pop Prince has travelled to Lisbon to express his willingness to collaborate with her, while Ana also sang onstage with Mick Jagger when the Stones swung by her hometown. The melancholy charms of fado get to us all.
