Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ilha formed in Lisbon around 2000 when vocalist Raquel Tavares, guitarist António Ferro, and bassist Marco Pereira met at a fado house in the Alfama district. They started playing together with a focus on traditional Portuguese fado.
Their 2005 album 'Mafalda Veiga' included a version of the title track originally by singer Mafalda Veiga. Some listeners felt this approach was too traditional, while others appreciated their take on the material.
They released several albums including 'Ilha' in 2001, 'Canto da Terra' in 2003, and 'Aurora' in 2007.
