Born in Massachusetts to a family of Portuguese immigrants, Catarina Avelar is one of the most noted fadistas of her generation in New England. Having performed throughout the United States and internationally, she is widely known as the “angelic voice of Fado.” Catarina connects deeply with her audiences, merging old world Fado with the new, while always attempting to preserve the essence that defines it.
Fado is an intrinsic part of Portuguese culture and a profound expression of its people and their experiences. Rooted in the joys and sorrows of the heart of the Portuguese soul, it is both
beautiful and haunting and has become one of the most recognized symbols of Portugal.
Catarina sings from her soul, recounting stories of love and loss and life’s experiences; stories that you can “feel”, regardless of whether or not you understand the language. She is passionate and proud about bringing Fado to places where it less well known, ensuring that she plays a role in preserving such a beautiful part of her heritage.
