Gisela João

Gisela João, one of Portugal’s most compelling voices, presents Inquieta (2025), an album and live performance celebrating freedom and collective memory. Through distinctive interpretations of songs by José Afonso, José Mário Branco, Fernando Lopes-Graça and other iconic figures of Portuguese culture, Gisela combines the power of her unmistakable voice with an artistic approach that balances respect for tradition with creative restlessness. Accompanied by Carles Rodenas Martinez (guitars) and Luís “Twins” Pereira (keyboards), she breathes new life into this timeless repertoire in a concert that promises to be deeply powerful. With more than a decade-long career, Gisela João continues to establish herself as one of Portugal’s leading cultural figures, acclaimed by audiences and critics alike for her authenticity and for the way she has brought Fado to new audiences.
