GISELA JOÃO

Considered as the new icon of fado, the young Gisela João resurrects the intense and melancholic vibration of the Portuguese soul and raises a passion that seemed to have vanished since the passing of the queen of fado Amàlia Rodrigues. Her visceral singing with its unalterable purity varies from interpretations of rare emotional power to slender breath of an unconventional vocal timbre.
Her deep tessitura and her dramatic signature already install this young artist in the demanding pantheon of Fado voices and keep her as the most beautiful contemporary promise of a shivering style full of Lusitanian saudade.
