Cristina Branco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cristina Branco was born in 1972 in Almeirim, in the Ribatejo region, Portugal, and is a Portuguese musician. She was originally drawn to jazz and other forms of Portuguese music before finally opting for fado after being introduced to the music of Amália Rodrigues by her grandfather. Branco studied the poems from which major fado lyrics are taken. Branco continues to work on her fado repertory, accompanied by Custódio Castelo on guitar and as composer. Her music is deeply rooted in tradition, yet is essentially modern.
