“Vacaville-based singer and pianist Ramana Vieira specializes in fado, the traditional Portuguese folk music likened to American blues, but lately she and her backing quartet expanded their song list in surprising ways. In the past six months, the ensemble’s repertoire, while still showcasing contemporary fado, has folded in songs to reflect ‘Basia to Sade meets Santana meets Portugal,’ she wrote in an email to The Reporter. This new tapestry of sounds will be in full effect from 8 to 11 p.m. Saturday in the Speakeasy at Makse Restaurant on Main Street in downtown Vacaville. She called the restaurant venue an ‘intimate lounge where folks can get an up close and intimate encounter with our band and just like the dueling pianos that performs regular at Makse Speakeasy, we, too, as a band, can honor a few musical requests, so come down and try us,’ she added."
