Teresinha Landeiro has become a vital name in contemporary fado, not only as a performer, but also as a songwriter. Teresinha Landeiro is synonymous with young, ambitious and light fado

 

 

Teresinha Landeiro wants to make a strong mark with her fado. It is at Mesa de Frades (Alfama, Lisbon) that she performs weekly, and it is the starting point for the building of an enviable curriculum despite being very young.

 

The Centro Cultural de Belém and Capitólio (Lisbon) as well as Casa da Música (Porto) have already hosted the young fado singer and composer, as well as events such as Festival Caixa Alfama, EDP Fado Cafe NOS Alive and even internationalization at the Fado Festival in Bogota (Colombia), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Seville and Madrid (Spain).

In the year 2021 she presented the album 'Agora', (SONY), which included music written by Teresinha Landeiro herself, revealing a young, ambitious and light fado as the fadista’s own personality.

 

In 2022 she started a section in her own instagram called "Alguida de Palavras" (Bowl of Words) which consisted in inviting personalities to choose a word, and with that same word, Teresinha Landeiro built an original text to a traditional fado. This authenticity allied to an unquestionable quality has placed Teresinha Landeiro in multiple stages all over the country from north to south, presenting her as a national artist that goes beyond the Alfama neighborhood.

 

In 2024 she has a new album "Para dançar e para chorar" to reinforce the identity she places on her art. With the single "Chegou a Hora" she presented the first moment of this new work in which fado continues to be central, but contaminated by pop composers as well as folklore. With a very secure career and performances from north to south of the country, including international concerts, Teresinha Landeiro has become a vital name in contemporary fado, not only as a performer, but also as a songwriter. Teresinha Landeiro is synonymous with young, ambitious and light fado. In the Fado Festival in China she will present her last work in a very special concert.

 

 

Rodrigo Costa Félix has been a professional fado singer for 30 years and is one of the greatest references of his generation. He has released three albums — “Fados de Amor” in 2013, won the Amália Rodrigues award for best Fado album and was nominated by Songlines magazine for best World Music album. His new album "Tempo" was distinguished by Songlines as “Top of the World”.

 

In addition to concerts and tours in Portugal and abroad — such as the two tours in the United States in 2013 and 2014 — he has given various workshops and lectures on fado at universities, schools and festivals. Lyricist, producer and columnist, Rodrigo opened, in 2021, with his friend and accomplished guitarist Luís Guerreiro, his own Fado house, Fado ao Carmo. His vast experience and in-depth knowledge of the Fado universe allow him to make a clear and informed assessment of the impact and effects of new approaches and influences on this popular music, with urban roots, which has been listed as Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO since 2011.
