Teresa Salgueiro, an unparalleled artist, has been a symbol of Portugal's musical heritage for over three decades. Her remarkable journey in music began in 1986, when she was just 17 years old, and was invited to join the foundation of the Portuguese group Madredeus. Over the next twenty years, she recorded nine albums of original music, created specifically for her voice, and traveled the world, selling over five million records worldwide. Madredeiro became the first international ambassadors of Portuguese music after Amália Rodrigues, with Teresa Salgueiro at the forefront of this musical adventure.
Throughout her career, Teresa has collaborated with renowned artists such as José Carreras, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Carlos Núnez, Angelo Branduardi, and Zbigniew Preisner, earning her recognition as one of the greatest contemporary singers. In 2011, she retreated to the Convent of Arrábida, where she recorded her first solo album, writing all the music and lyrics herself. This marked the beginning of her new project, O Mistério, which has taken her to the most prestigious stages around the world, where she has played to enthusiastic audiences.
The voyage of O Mistério culminated in the creation of original arrangements for a series of Mexican and South American songs, which resulted in an exclusive record for Mexico, La Golondrina y El Horizonte, with a world premiere at the highly acclaimed Festival Cervantino. Her new record, O Horizonte, is a testament to her songwriting and lyricist skills, featuring an original repertoire.
In her upcoming tour, Teresa Salgueiro will present a new show that celebrates her versatility, featuring the interpretation of her own songs, original arrangements for Portuguese classics, and a heartfelt homage to her former group. Throughout her performances, she will draw upon an intricate web of emotions, showcasing her reputation as a creator of magical ambiences of undisputed beauty.
