Anyone who has seen her on stage recognizes her immense charisma. Celina da Piedade is a composer, accordionist, and singer who has brought her creativity to a wide variety of contexts, ranging from traditional music to a more contemporary and universal style, drawing on the rich heritage of Cante Alentejano as well as the energy of folk and pop music. In 2021, she presents her fourth solo album, “Ao vivo na Casinha,” recorded at the legendary Xutos & Pontapés studio, filled with musical innovations as well as new versions of some of the most iconic songs in her repertoire. In the various stage formats she has come to be known for—whether performing solo, accompanied by her band, or with guests (such as Rodrigo Leão, Tim, Vitorino, Uxia, João Gil, among others), accompanied by choral groups or even in her very special concert format “Celina da Piedade e as Vozes do Cante,” she crafts music brimming with soul and personality, which, on stage, is enhanced by her formidable presence and sense of artistic sharing.
