Gisela João is a luminous figure in contemporary Portuguese music, whose name has become synonymous with the soulful and evocative genre of fado. Born in Barcelos, Portugal, her passion for the traditional music of her homeland took root at an early age, setting her on the path to becoming one of the most distinctive voices in the revival of fado within modern music.

Her self-titled debut album was released in 2013 to critical acclaim, enthralling listeners with its raw emotional power and her authentic delivery – a testament to the genre's enduring relevance. Gisela's artistry lies in her ability to bridge the past and the present, infusing classical fado with contemporary sensibilities and production. Her musical explorations have led to several transformative works, including her acclaimed 2020 album "AuRora," which further cements her place in the tapestry of Portuguese music. Gisela João stands out not just for her powerful voice and emotional depth, but also for her willingness to experiment and innovate, collaborating with producers and DJs to remix her work, as evident in releases such as "Tábuas Do Palco I (Xinobi Remix)" and "Saia Da Herança (Holly Remix)," offering a fresh take on a revered tradition and inviting new audiences to experience the poignancy of fado.
