The face, the hands and the soul. Complete identity, perfect, absolute, but above all, the mirror of people that speak through her, that exists within her, who see themselves in her, who resist and reinvents in her voice. Of the people who feeds, from the cultures where she was created (the African rhythm and sensuality, the sweet mood of the Azores islands and her eternal Lisbon), also feeds Fado: her chosen form of expression. Universal song, of urban root and nomad soul, liberated of languages, concepts and definitions, communicating though what unites us all: "saudade", joy and grief, love and life. With Katia we recognize the warrior’s impulse, the rare sensitivity of the artist, the stage and the truth of entertainment and show.

Experience the unique blend of Katia Guerreiro voice and the oriental sounds of the Macao Chinese Orchestra.

"Or, rather, bloomed, because her eyes – swooningly closed when she sings – suggest dark flowers. Gorgeous in her spangled robe, she stands at the microphone as though at an altar where she communes with spirits above."
