"Rumo ao Sul" is a single by Ana Moura from the album Leva-me aos Fados. It was released on February 20, 2010 in Portugal.
In 2009, Moura began recording rough demos at World Village studios in Lisbon, Portugal. The demos consisted of Moura's lyrical ideas over various backing tracks. The demos were later rearranged and real instruments were added to replace the samples or keyboards initially emulating them. All string and orchestral arrangements were recorded at World Village studios in Lisbon by Ana Moura and Jorge Fernando. The song was mixed at the studios by Jorge Fernando.
The music video follows the aesthetics of the previous music videos from this album. [1]

Pimba is a Portuguese type or genre of music with an uptempo style and/or folk song features, corny romantic or saucy and vulgar lyrics, which was often associated with poorly educated public from rural areas and suburban poor or working-class neighbourhoods, as well as with Portuguese economic migrants living abroad who spend their holidays in their ancestors' localities across the Portuguese countryside. The Portuguese word pimba by itself means a quick, unexpected event or the end of an action, and is also a slang code word for having any type of sexual pleasure with another person. A loose translation could be the English word bang when used to express an act of sexual intercourse or the expression "wham!". In the context of Portuguese music, the genre was christened Pimba after Emanuel's 1995 single called Pimba Pimba.
