Teresa Salgueiro

She was always on the move. Since she stepped on stage for the first time in 1987, when she was only 18 years old, she has not stopped performing in the most prestigious concert halls in the world. For 20 years, as founder and part of Madredeus, she sold three million records; and in the last 15 albums under her own name she has starred in the albums O Mistério, La golondrina y el horizonte (dedicated to traditional Latin American music) and O Horizonte, the latter unanimously awarded the José Alfonso prize, and with five other albums in collaboration with other artists in which she revisits classics of the MPB between the 30s and 70s of the 20th century or the deepest roots of Portugal. Whether as an actress, famous in the film Historia de Lisboa by Wim Wenders, or as the main soloist in the orchestra Silence, Night and Dreams by Zbigniew Preisner (author of the soundtracks of Krzysztof Kieslowski's films), her enormous talent has allowed her to collaborate with several artists of the most varied forms of artistic expression, from Caetano Veloso to Coba, from Patrick Watson to José Carreras, from Mário Lúcio to Carlos Paredes or Lucio Dalla.

This unusual ability to reinvent herself, to extend her artistic sensibility, gave a unique tone to Teresa Salgueiro's career, from theaters to studios, from writing lyrics to songwriting, from designing shows to producing her records, her discreet charisma, her singing and her unmistakable voice conquered all of us who shared the journey with her. 35 years ago. No stops in places other than concert halls; from Portugal and the world, always on the move.
