A Portuguese singer who carries the fado tradition forward while speaking her mind.
For a sense of her range, try 'Fado Pessoa' for the traditional side, then 'Fora de Cena' for something a little different.
Guerreiro's voice gives fado a contemporary presence without losing its essential ache. Songs like 'De Ti Direi Apenas' show how she works with poetry, setting words by António Gedeão to music. She's also been willing to step outside the music, publicly questioning arts funding and speaking on social issues.
She started in local choirs and fado gatherings before her 1995 debut 'Fado Maior'. Later albums like 'Asas' in 2003 and 'Fados de Amor e Saudade' in 2006 built her catalog, with collaborations ranging from Mísia to Caetano Veloso.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
