Ramana Vieira

Her parents had immigrated to the United States from Portugal, where her grandfather was a well-known musician and composer from Madeira.

Vieira said that as a young singer she had no interest in performing fado until she visited Portugal when she was 16 years old.

In 2009, she released the album Lagrimas De Rainha (Tears of a Queen), which (according to Vieira's press releases), reached number 43[citation needed] on the World Music Radio[clarification needed] charts.

In 2015, Vieira released (Fado da Vida), of which several tracks have been nominated at the International Portuguese Music Awards (IPMA).

In 2016, the International Portuguese Music Awards nominated Ai Mouraria for Best Fado Performance.
