It’s a gift. Katia Guerreiro both heals bruised souls and tends to wounded bodies. At thirty eight, this talented Portuguese woman pursues a dual career. By day she is a specialist doctor, by night a successful fado singer. Caught between two passions, the young woman, who grew up in the Azores, has chosen not to choose. For the last 12 years, since the success of her album “Fado Maior” revealed her talents to the world, Katia Guerreiro has captured, better than anyone, the true and original essence of fado. The demanding circle of fans have even gone as far as to compare her to the incomparable Amalia Rodrigues. She has captured both the words and spirit of this great star. Each line is filled with spirituality, whispered secrets and tradition. Love stories finish in heartbreak and blues resonates with the most subtle of echoes – the echoes of the restless Fernando Pessoa and the more contemporary António Lobo Antunes, two Lisbon poets that she visited. Eyes closed and hands interlaced behind her back, Katia Guerreiro offers us a version of fado that transcends clichés, daring to open new horizons by inviting artists such as sambista Martinho Da Vila and diva Amina Alaoui. Brazilian saudade and Moroccan tarab evoke fado’s tragic destiny with long timeless blues. All this serves to highlight the singer’s talent, faultless technique and also a sensitivity that holds us on a tightrope, on the edge of the abyss, and draws us into an intimate drama that becomes universal. Soul wrenching moments make hearts and bodies tremble, as they did at her concert on the mythic stage of the Olympia in Paris on 23 January 2012 or on January 30, 2016, during a memorable concert at the Opera Grande Hall in Lyon, when she became the first Portuguese artist to sing on this stage.

Katia as a captivating and sincere ambassador has performed on the biggest stages and in various countries such as Norway, Spain, France, Brazil, and Latin America for this fall of 2018.

In March 2017, Katia Guerreiro is invited to perform at the Al Bustan Festival in Beirut. In 2017, the prestigious Lebanese festival was titled “Queens and Empresses of the East”

Main awards :
Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Government
Ordem do Infante D. Henrique by the Portuguese Government
Mexican prize “Lunas del Auditorio”, for his concert at the Teatro de la Ciudad in October 2015.

She was born in South Africa, grew up in the Azores and was discovered in Lisbon. She wanted to be a teacher, a veterinarian, and became a doctor. But fate found it. And she found Fado. Work of fate? It is her conviction that she exists and is attentive to it. So she does not make plans, she lets life happen to her. It was for this confidence that she waited for the right moment. The moment when all the elements were aligned, in the same rhythm, in the same poetry, in the same passion. She waited for the poems. She waited for the music. She waited for everyone with whom she wanted to go the long, long wished path, long prepared. The themes have been collected over the years. From inside the drawer that is her heart, they left to be sung with the emotion that characterizes it. There were many, the choice was difficult, but the 12 elected represent the new Katia Guerreiro, whom in recent years has prepared for this now. At her side, Tiago Bettencourt, "a passionate fado who besides being an excellent musician is also a friend", assured the production and musical direction of the project, but also wrote, solo and in partnership, some of the songs. Always with her, João Veiga, Pedro Castro, Luis Guerreiro and Francisco Gaspar, the musicians who have long been following his fado. To these were added other, bigger names of Portuguese music, such as Professor Joel Pina, Pedro Jóia, André Ramos, Artur Caldeira. In the authorship there are 20 names. Some in absolute debut, others in posthumous honor. All in harmony, Until the End. (Translated from Portuguese.)
