Sara Correia

Fresh fado

Following the Latin Grammy nomination for her previous album, Sara Correia presents *Tempestade*, a bold new statement. On this record, she breathes new life into the fado tradition with a repertoire of songs all written by women, including Carolina Deslandes, Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, A Garota Não and Aldina Duarte.

The themes range from love and conflict to vulnerability and determination. Live, this translates into understated, precise arrangements, interspersed with carefully built-up moments of tension and a strong focus on lyrics and interpretation, entirely in keeping with the fado tradition.

The tour premiered at the sold-out MEO Arena in Lisbon and marks an important moment in Correia’s career. Tempestade confirms her position as one of the most significant voices in contemporary Portuguese music.

For fans of Mariza, Carminho, Ana Moura, Cristina Branco
