<< One of the best Portuguese albums of the year, no doubt! >> in Blitz
<<Impressive opening...elegant fado-style vocal...>> in fRoots ***** 5 stars CD in Blitz Celina da Piedade is a passionate accordion player. But far more than that, she's a heart-singer and composer. A musician with a very particular approach to the Portuguese music concept, where diversity and integration are the main key s: borders fall down when the fusion of roots, cultures and wishes happens... cause in the end, what matters is music. Celina da Piedade has been given the opportunity to work with some of the greatest names of the world music panorama: Rodrigo Leão, Mayra Andrade, Ludovico Einaudi, Kepa Junkera and Uxia... to name just a few. Besides these collaborations, she presents herself in solo, playing a rich, thoroughly chosen repertoire of folk/traditional music, as well as some compositions lovingly forged by her own hand. |
