Portuguese Inner Voice Explorer, Music Producer & Adufe Player
Andreia João
Portuguese singer, songwriter and producer.
Born in Sintra, Portugal. Soul and heart are hands tight with Traditional Portuguese Music and all "Lusofonias" and "Iberofonias". Yet the mind is linked with Electronic Music.
Since 2012, Andreia is living Senhora do Ó, Exploring the sound intuitively, manipulating it with the support of synthesizers and her voice. Based on organic percussions and synthetic beats, harmonizing Chill Out Ethnic backgrounds, also with Portuguese words. One major objective is to revisit some of the many references at the Old Portuguese Songbook and the ancestral repertoire of oral tradition, also of Portugal, lined within this new context.
​
Since 2010 she started a new cycle writing and composing music for her own repertoire. ÓAI d'IR, a non-traditional project based in tradicional music. Original repertoire of acoustic songs based on world percussions, and also in melody, using ethnic instruments, including instruments of traditional Portuguese root. A project produced by Miguel Simoes and Andreia João in co-authorship.

​
My eternal and dear Friend, Master of Authentic Portuguese Joy who feels that the World is too small for his country, disarming maps and hearts as a true artist who always knew how to read his own essence and self-recognize himself, without limits to dream.
​
Gratitude my Eternal Master and dear Friend, for having read me so clearly from the start, for your always vitalizing energy, for your Love for our traditional Portuguese music, for my turn, for the beauty of the forgotten ternary compass, for your singing smile, for the your always affectionate embrace and for your deeply inspiring Faith for me.

Keep flying!
We're Together ♥
