Although she was born in Lisbon, Ana Sofia Varela grew up in the Alentejo. At the age of three, she went to live in Serpa, where she stayed until the age of 20. It was there that she discovered her passion for fado. In 1998, she was invited by António Chainho to participate in his album A Guitarra e Outras Mulheres. That same year, with João Monge and João Gil, she joined in the project Do Sol e da Lua, Fado e Flamenco, which formed part of the Expo'98 programme. She then settled definitively in the capital, singing in fado houses and winning the Amália Prize for the best female voice in 2005. She also appeared in Carlos Saura’s film Fados, which recreated a typical scenario from a fado house. This scenario was then taken on a tour of live shows performed in Spain. In 2010, she was again awarded the Amália Prize, this time for the year’s best recording, with her album Fados de Amor e Pecado. Continuing to perform at fado houses and concerts in Portugal and all around the world, Ana Sofia Varela has participated in the Caixa Alfama, Caixa Ribeira and Caixa Luanda festivals and has given concerts in such countries as Brazil, Greece, Argentina, Chile, Belgium, Holland, the United Kingdom, Norway, Japan, Macau and Italy.
