Sara Correia (Portugal)

Sara Correia is a talented performer with a powerful and charismatic voice that projects the intensity, essence and passion of Fado. Her intense, smokey and passionate voice captures love and power, sadness and joy, the city of Lisbon and the Portuguese soul.

Correia grew up in a family of fadistas, immersed in the art of fado greats. Aged 13, she won the national Grande Noite do Fado competition and during her teenage years, regularly sang at one of Lisbon’s most important fado venues, the Casa de Linhares, learning and growing into her craft. Correia was just 25 years old when her eponymous 2018 debut album saw her being hailed as the voice of a new generation of fado singers.

Her 2020 release, Do Coração, was nominated for a Latin Grammy and won “Best Fado Album” at Portugal’s PLAY awards. Since then she has been honing her craft further, performing in Portugal, Morocco, Latin America, Turkey, Spain, UK and Latvia with her accomplished ensemble, featuring master guitarist Ângelo Ferreira .
