Sara Correia says Turkish audiences connect deeply with music
Portuguese fado singer Sara Correia, known as the “Storm of Fado,” is preparing to return to Istanbul as part of the tour for her latest album, “Tempestade” (Storm).
The artist will perform at the Istanbul Archaeology Museums Garden on June 25.
Ahead of the concert, Correia reflected on her lifelong relationship with fado, the inspiration behind her music and the special connection she feels with Turkish audiences.
Correia said fado was not a genre she discovered later in life but rather a world she had been part of since childhood due to her family’s deep connection to the tradition. She recalled that winning the Great Fado Night competition at the age of 13 played a decisive role in shaping her future.
