Biography

Cristina Branco is one of the most important Portuguese artists of recent decades.   She began her career in Holland, with Cristina Branco in Holland (1997), which became a success in that country. In the following years, Cristina’s name exploded, with sold-out dates in countless cities. Her following works, Murmúrios (1998) and Post-Scriptum (2000) reinforced this momentum.   It was only at the turn of the millennium, with albums like Sensus (2003), that Cristina Branco began to be discovered by the Portuguese public. Comparisons with Amália Rodrigues were inevitable. These were followed by Abril (2007), an album with cover versions of songs by José Afonso, and the iconic Fado Tango (International Version) (2011), which features collaborations with renowned portuguese authors. The album foreshadows Cristina’s artistic rebirth.   Considered Best Album of the Year by the Portuguese Author Society, Menina (2016) is part of a trilogy that includes the jovial Branco (2018) and Eva (2020). In these, Cristina brings together unusual collaborations which result in an innovative interpretation of Fado.   Eva reveals Cristina Branco’s most intimate depth. Since its release, the album has sold-out shows in countries all over Europe. In 2022 – as she celebrated her 25th career anniversary – Cristina Branco released Amoras numa Tarde de Outono, an album in collaboration with the pianist João Paulo Esteves da Silva. A new album is expected for Autumn 2023.
