Intro
Cape Verdean singer

Ana Firmino (born 1953) is a Cape Verdean singer. She was born in 1953 on the island of Sal, but it was not until she was in her late 20s that she dedicated herself to a career in music. She has performed for many years in Cape Verde and Europe particularly in Portugal, appearing in film and on television releasing several solo albums including Amor e Tao Sabe (1998). She is a well-regarded interpreter of the native morna as well as other traditional genres. One of her signature songs is Chico Malandro, produced by one of Cape Verde's most successful musicians Tito Paris.

Her two film credits are Fintar o Destino (1998) (released as Dribbling Fate in the USA) and Testamento do Senhor Napumoceno (English: Napumoceno's Will) (1997).

Together with Tito Paris, they appeared at the Portimão Music Festival in Portugal in 2010
