LAKEPORT, Calif. — Journey to the world of Portuguese Fado as interpreted by Ramana Vieira, a northern California native of Portuguese descent.
Vieira will perform at the Soper Reese Theatre in Lakeport at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 23.
Tickets can be purchased at the
theater’s website.
Vieira’s parents immigrated to the United States from Portugal, where her grandfather was a well-known musician and composer from Madeira Island.
Her work captures traditional Fado and influences from the Portuguese diaspora in a musical tapestry that ranges from the whispering, haunting ballads of Fado, to American classics and jazzy blues.
She also is a proficient pianist and a gifted songwriter having penned and composed her own original Fados, of which several have been nominated at the International Portuguese Music Awards.
The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S. Main St. in Lakeport, telephone 707-263-0577.
