SUMMARY:(note: Ramana Vieira @ Yoshi's Oakland)
DESCRIPTION:SF *Brazilian* Portuguese Language (and dancing!) Meetups\n\n'T
 he New Voice of Portuguese World Music'\n8pm & 10pm shows $18\n \n\nRamana 
 Vieira sings with such a wide range of emotions one cannot help but be mesm
 erized by images of “old world” Portugal that emerge from the depths of her
  soul. Often referred to as the “New Voice of Portuguese World Music\,” thi
 s powerful vocalist is making her mark as one of the premier contemporary F
 ado artists. Take the feel and groove of Shakira and the melodic textures o
 f Dulce Pontes and that is how Ramana would describe her music. Called a “r
 ising star in World Music” by the San Francisco Examiner\, Ramana has solid
 ified her place as an artist who understands the tradition of Fado singing 
 and continues to creatively construct a path into the future by combining n
 ew musical textures and original compositions. Some of the highlights of Ra
 mana's performance career include: opening for Grammy nominated fadista Mar
 iza\; performing her original song “Unido Para Amar” for the 2006 Winter Ol
 ympics video montage\;\nand chosen to sing for the Grammy’s 50th Awards spe
 cial Music Cares benefit to honor Aretha Franklin.  Her two prior recording
 s\, “Despi A Alma (I Undressed My Soul)” and “Sem Ti” helped her to gain re
 cognition\, win awards\, and appear on the cover of “Mundo Portuguese” Maga
 zine.   However\, Ramana’s truly magical spirit comes alive in her newest r
 elease on the Pacific Coast  Jazz label\, “Lágrimas De Rainha (Tears Of A Q
 ueen)” that supports Ramana’s desire to invent a  fresh Fado sound blooming
  from the ground of her own family roots. \nFor more information:\nhttp://w
