CLAUDIA AURORA: 'Porto-born Fado singer Claudia Aurora stands as one of the few artists outside Portugal to have made a truly significant mark on this revered genre. Her collaboration as a songwriter with Spanish guitarist Javier Moreno has taken them to some of the most prestigious stages across the UK, Europe, and even as far afield as South Korea and Oman. Aurora’s performances are renowned for their  healing power, where every note delivers heartfelt and deep emotion.

Her voice—a compelling blend of power and soul—intertwines effortlessly with Moreno's delicate yet expressive guitar playing. Alongside them now  is Pedro Velasco on the Portuguese guitar, whose tender, nuanced touch mirrors the ebb and flow of the tides. Together, they create an intoxicating, immersive experience that draws listeners into a world of longing, passion, and profound beauty, what they call of "Beautiful sadness".

Whether performing original compositions or traditional Fado, Aurora’s voice, with its haunting richness, and the evocative strings of the Portuguese and Spanish guitars, come together in a spellbinding union. Their music is a visceral journey, full of drama, sorrow, and the melancholic essence of saudade, the soul-stirring Portuguese yearning for what’s lost but never forgotten.'
