Andreia's soul and heart are hands tight with Portuguese Music and all "Lusofonias". Alongside the repertoire that she carefully selected to live presentations, Andreia is starting a new cycle composing original Portuguese Music, someting she never did before. With no name yet, this will become a non-traditional project based in tradicional music, with much daring too... She invites those who identify with the traditional Portuguese music, to participate in one way or another!
She completed the Social/Cultural Entertainment course, where she had her first acting experience, with the Drama professors Maria Joao Fontainhas and Joao de Mello Alvim, director of the Theater Company in Sintra. In 2002, she took vocal technique lessons with Maria do Rosario Coelho, and with Francisco d' Orey, and is also teaching musical expression to children, since 2006.
Currently she is singing with CRAMOL, a huge polyphonic chorus of women. In the repertoire there are several national songbook, careful choices of Giacometti / Lopes-Graça and José Alberto Sardinha, but also from other sources duly identified. They are songs of work, of celebration, and more.
A permanent search of ancient sounds, a group of women, in 1979, have decided to enjoy and develop, together, the females traditional singing, one of the richest heritage of portuguese tradicional music "a capella". Decussate in singing the sacred and the profane, the life cycle, the cycle of nature and the cycle religious, Cramol seeks to discover the essence of rural women in their daily lives.
The adventure began in a workshop at Oeiras, in the cultural association Oeirense Library Workers (1933). There, a group of young women decide to learn and find a corner of many primeval sounds. The presentations made public the urgent formation of an autonomous group and name. Thus was born the Cramol.
ARCO DA LUA Ensemble
Arco da Lua is a new Portuguese music ensemble that, 15 years ago and with other elements, was known as Arco da Velha. Today, after a break of fifteen years, and because of the singular songs, the project sprang anew. Andreia is very happy with the invitation to join the group,
here again, she rediscover her roots, and sings beautifull original songs, who are also played by traditional instruments.
THEATER VOICE PERFORMER
Andreia is working with the producer David Martins, lending her voice to his musical compositions, targeted for theater performances, such as "Memorial do Convento", "Memórias de Branca Dias" and now "Vieira - O Céu na Terra", a scene at the historical monument, Carmo Convent Ruins.
A new challenge that gives her ability to voice representation and experimentalism.
"Vieira - O Céu na Terra" "Vieira - The Heaven on Earth"
Written by Miguel Real and Filomena Oliveira (author recently covered with the Grand Prix Theatre SPA / Open Theatre), the piece celebrates a man who was distributed by many activities - was missionary, diplomat, politician, speaker, prophet, writer, nationalist - And, above all, understand the meaning of the word "tolerance". Their travel as a diplomat, the persecutions of the Inquisition, the fight for the disadvantaged and defense, for Portugal, the advent of the Fifth Empire, are portrayed in the piece, whose action ends in 1656, the date of death of the guard of Vieira, D. João IV.

Adicionei dez faixas do meu 1° disco em minha página (falta masterizar). Há mais algumas, que vou adicionando.
Feliz natal e um 2010 fazendo o que se tem vontade. A vida em sociedade é apenas uma brincadeira e tudo o que existe no mundo é inventado, todas as regras, leis, procedimentos e coisas. O mundo é o que a gente acredita.
E nada nos torna mais importantes do que quando seguimos a voz do coração. Que em 2010 façamos mais concessões afetivas e menos concessões profissionais.
