Unanimously acknowledged to be one of the most important fado singers of the new millennium, Katia Guerreiro is, above all, one of the greatest ambassadors of both fado and Portugal, performing at a wide variety of different venues and on many of the major international cultural circuits. With a career already spanning almost 18 years, she has appeared at such famous venues as the Coliseu dos Recreios, Opéra de Lyon, Opéra de Rennes, Opéra de Vichy, the Ankara Opera House, the Paris Olympia, the Berlin Philharmonic, Luxembourg Cathedral, the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, the Roman Theatre of Mérida and at all kinds of world music festivals, having already visited such countries as South Africa, Mexico, Thailand, France, Japan, Lebanon, Norway, Saudi Arabia, New Caledonia, Morocco, Spain, Brazil, Tunisia, Turkey, China, Canada and many more. All of these performances were pivotal in promoting the dissemination of fado, paving the way for the success that this music now enjoys, with constant visits and tours by Portuguese singers to concert halls abroad to perform before foreign audiences. Even after countless years of touring, the splendour and intensity of her pure and traditional fado show no signs of waning.
