For 35 years, Dulce Pontes has been pushing the boundaries, both geographical and temporal. The singer who reintroduced fado to the international stage has broadened the horizons of Portugal’s most deeply rooted musical tradition. She has shared her passion for this ancient sound and the respect it deserves with every corner of the world, while always steering clear of arid philology and scholarly pedantry. Instead, she has found her own voice using fado as a vehicle to explore feelings and combining its essence with the diverse rhythms and melodies. She has happily blended influences ranging from North Africa to Brazil and from Central Europe to Italy, as in the collaboration with the enthusiastic Ennio Morricone. For someone like her, self-celebration means showcasing the intimate beauty of popular music.
