The music of Cristina Branco is embedded in the traditional fado, but often tilts over towards jazz, flamenco and chansons.
Successor Amàlia Rodrigues
It has been obvious to both critics and lovers of fado that Cristina Branco is the rightful successor of the eminent Amàlia Rodrigues. With her exquisite voice and intense performance, she merges the different elements of fado. Heartache, melancholy, powerlessness against fate represent the main sentiments laid down in fado music.
Cristina Branco embraces fado traditions, but gives the genre a new lease of life by her original interpretation.
