Sara Correia. From the people to the people


Sara Correia is a young Portuguese singer of Fado, the urban traditional genre of song of Lisbon.
Fado are mostly soulful songs and were originally created centuries ago by a mixture of local musicians and Portuguese Guitar players with local communities of immigrants, mixing their soulful songs with Portuguese guitars.  
Sara Correia is precisely a descendent from those communities, growing up and living in one of "people's neighbourhoods", Chelas.
Now, that she is a famous artist, she decided to thank her neighbours and friends, giving them a free concert.
Here's her song of proud of her origins: "I come from my neighborhood, from my window I count the stars (estrelas/stellas). I'm not from anywhere else, I'm from Chelas."


And now, Sara expressing her gratitude to her most important reference, Amália Rodrigues.

Das melhores fadistas da atualidade, Sara Correira tem uma voz poderosa e versátil. Dona de uma força interior extraordinária, cedo começou a palmilhar o caminho do fado. Agradecida pela partilha!
