Fado singer Claudia Aurora to Perform Saturday, 12 March at Queen Elizabeth Hall

Portuguese singer Claudia Aurora will be performing this coming Saturday, 12 March 2011, 8pm at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre, in London, as part of WOW – Women of the World Festival.

Claudia Aurora is a new powerful fado voice. The singer-songwriter’s award-winning debut album ‘Silencio’ last year wowed the critics as the first collection of original fado songs to be recorded in the UK.

Launching this year, WOW – Women of the World – is a celebration of the formidable strength and inventiveness of women – a pioneering, groundbreaking annual festival, which will present, recognize and celebrate women, and act as a conversation space for issues of all kinds.
