Ana Moura

A concert evening worth the trip
From Stockholm Central Station, the train ride to Uppsala Central Station takes just 30–40 minutes. From there, it’s just a few minutes’ walk to UKK. Simple and convenient—and before you know it, you’ll be in the middle of an evening of world-class Portuguese fado!

About the Performance

Ana Moura is one of the most acclaimed fado singers of our time – an artist who, with her great presence and expressive voice, has renewed Portuguese fado and made the genre beloved far beyond the country’s borders.

Born in the historic city of Santarém in central Portugal and raised with both Portuguese and Angolan musical traditions, Moura has created a style that blends traditional fado with warm soul, sensual kizomba, and modern pop.

On her latest album, *Casa Guilhermina* (2022)—named after her Angolan grandmother—she takes a clear step beyond traditional fado. Electronic sounds and influences from African music are woven together with the distinctive emotional tone of fado—a personal and contemporary expression with roots firmly anchored in the Portuguese tradition.

Ana Moura has captivated audiences around the world and shared the stage with artists such as Mick Jagger and Prince. On stage, she creates an atmosphere where Lisbon’s old fado houses have their windows open to new musical influences. The result is a concert experience filled with passion, elegance, and a powerful presence—where every song feels both timeless and deeply personal.

An evening of passion, presence and musical beauty awaits at Uppsala Konsert & Kongress.
