Fado Maria Ana Bobone - guest Rodrigo Rebelo e Andrade

Maria Ana Bobone is a Portuguese singer, pianist and composer known for her innovative approach to fado. With classical training and a keen musical sensibility, Maria Ana has been one of the voices that has contributed most to the modernisation of traditional fado, without breaking with its roots. One of her most distinctive milestones is the ‘Fado & Piano’ project, in which she accompanies herself on the piano - an unusual instrument in the world of fado - creating a unique sound that crosses classical, jazz and traditional Portuguese.

Throughout her career, she has performed on international stages and recorded several albums, being praised by critics and audiences alike. Her delicate and expressive voice, combined with deep and sophisticated interpretations, make Maria Ana Bobone a leading figure in contemporary Portuguese music. As well as fado, she also explores repertoires of classical, sacred and popular songs, demonstrating a rare musical versatility.

Guest Rodrigo Rebelo de Andrade is 38 years old, an architect and a fado singer. He belongs to a family of fado singers and has always had contact with fado sung by his mother, Teresa Siqueira, and his sister, Carminho. In 2011 she joined the cast of fado singers at Mesa de Frades, where she sings on Wednesdays.

He combines his profession as an architect with his passion and interest in music and fado, singing by invitation in some of Lisbon's fado houses and regularly taking part in various events.
