A Cantadeira is a woman, mother, singer, bagpipe player and Adufe drummer, who digits melodies, candescent noises, murmurs and vague melancholic songs. She sings about identity in a tapestry of voices, like progressively intertwined threads. She looks for inspiration in the women of the past and present, in our mothers, aunts and grandmothers whose voices comforted us, welcomed us, created and left us with their strong and emotional feminine legacy. A Cantadeira is Joana Negrão, whose musical career is linked to Portuguese oral music, from Dazkarieh to her current band, Seiva. In her solo performances, her voice is the guiding thread for the creation of ancient and current soundscapes.
