Portuguese Fado artist Ana Moura shares new single “Arraial Triste”. It’s a haunting single that weaves her bi-racial heritage with contemporary Portuguese sounds to create an uplifting track. Self-writing for the first time and working with contemporary Portuguese producers, Ana Moura’s forthcoming album Casa Guilhermina is due November 11.
“Since I was young, I used to go to these festivals every year. The song is a description of desencontro, which is when people are unable to meet despite wanting to. I’m saying that I’m on the streets walking at night in the middle of the festival, but still feeling alone. I cannot find him because he’s somewhere else in the festival. But at the same time, I say, ‘Tonight, I will dance with myself under the full moon.’”
