Meet Claudia

Porto-born Fado singer Claudia Aurora is likely the only Fado singer based outside Portugal to make a significant impact on this traditional art. Her collaboration with Spanish guitarist Javier Moreno has taken them to some of the most prestigious stages throughout the UK and Europe, and as far as South Korea and Oman. The duo's performances are renowned for their healing power, Aurora's profound vocals, and Moreno's subtle and sensitive playing, which follows her rhythm and breath like the tide kissing the shore. With a repertoire of original and traditional songs, the beauty of the Spanish guitar and Aurora's voice combine to create a visceral and emotional experience, full of drama, sorrow, and saudade.
