Bio / Background
OLA!
Ramana Vieira's second album entitled "Despi A Alma" (I Undressed My Soul) has been an international hit! Vieira powerfully delivers originally composed songs, as well as a few classics by her idol, the late, amazing Fadista Amália da Piedade Rodrigues.
Amália was known as the "Queen of Fado", setting the precedence for all Fadistas to follow. During the time of her rein, she beautifully sang in French, Spanish, English and Portuguese, performing all over the world from Europe to Asia to the Americas. As a tribute to Amália, Ramana performs classics such as "Barco Negro", "Triste Sina", and "Estranha Forma De Vida" for you to enjoy on the "Despi A Alma" album.
The originally composed track, "Sophia", pays tribute to a friend's daughter. Ramana's lyrics are based on verses written by a talented Portuguese poet and friend, José Raposo.
Ramana is the daughter of Portuguese immigrants from the Madeira Island.
