Gisela João

Since her remarkable debut in 2013, Gisela João has carved out a distinct niche in the world of music hailing from Portugal. Her voice resonates with rare authenticity, transcending cultural boundaries. Rooted in Fado, the soulful blues tradition of her homeland, her music carries a universal appeal, captivating audiences far beyond the shores of Portugal.

In 2021, Gisela João unveiled her deeply personal and intimate third album, "AuRora." Recorded across Lisbon and Barcelona, this release marks a significant turning point in her career. For the first time, she reveals her prowess as a lyricist and composer, taking her artistry to new heights.

Collaborating with Michael League, the acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer known for his role in Snarky Puppy, Gisela João's "AuRora" reimagines the boundaries of Fado, incorporating beautifully unusual elements such as synths, orchestral violins, and piano, all while preserving the genre's timeless essence. Michael League hails this work as a bold exploration of the very core of Fado. It transcends it into a surprising and deeply contemplative, ethereal, and emotional sonic experience.

Gisela João's live performances are nothing short of electrifying, leaving an indelible mark on all who witness her artistry. Her voice is a compelling act of defiance and surrender all in one. Even for those who have experienced her magic multiple times, Gisela João continues to astonish.
