Dulce Pontes

If you enjoy Portuguese music, Dulce Pontes is a treat not to be missed. Considered by many as the heiress to Amalia Rodriguez, Fado’s spiritual mother, Pontes has brought a new popularity to the genre, pointing towards different directions, both traditional and innovative. Seated at the piano, intimate and radiant, the singer indulges in sobriety, in simplicity, in a Fado which has been rid of the excessive orchestration of the past. She has performed with the likes of Josep Carreras, Andrea Boccelli, Cesárea Évora and Caetano Veloso, showing how versatile her talent is, but it is Fado that has brought her the most extraordinary success.
