My Story
Sara Marreiros is the embodiment of a musical nomad. Her latest EP,
Something Sweet on The Wind, was released to a worldly following of
listeners who appreciate her presence as a songstress who maps together melodic stories of the old and new.
Growing up between Sagres, Portugal, and Victoria, Canada, Sara was brought up in many traditions traveling her way through Europe and North America. Musically speaking, Sara from a young age was immersed in experiences of Fado* bars falling asleep in her parents arms, to the sounds of busy city Morocco and Paris squares, as well as formal Jazz and Classical studies in Victoria. Rich settings for song to grow.
Adulthood came with her first big move to N Y. at age 18, living for a year
within an emersion in the Jazz scene. Her adventures continued to Portugal, US, and throughout Canada where Sara performed collaborated, and recorded alongside musicians with influences of hip-hop, jazz, world beat, electronic and folk. Working and rubbing shoulders with many notable names, Sara collected insights informing and establishing her colourful perspective at many venues such as the Vancouver Folk Festival and recording live CBC studio sessions across Canada.
As time polished her identity, the heritage sounds of Fado became a stronger calling with its haunting and soulful yearning of Saudade*. Debuting with the
album "Alma De Terra "in 2002, followed by"Minha Luz" in 2005 and now highlighted in her newest gem "Something sweet on the Wind" released August, 2012.
In the past 15 years, another venture of Sara’s has been in the genre of vocal improvisation and sound healing. Passion for this work was unveiled by
Rhiannon, master teacher whose musical vision resonates deeply with her spirit; working extensively with a troop in Vancouver and in Victoria B.C. Soulful
collaborations provide unique concerts, cabaret styled events and spontaneous performance.
In an artistic pilgrimage, Sara Marreiros resides with deep gratitude, a heightened awareness and devotion towards a musical story.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
*Fado ("destiny, fate") is a music genre which can be traced to the 1820s in Portugal. In popular belief, Fado is a form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor, and infused with a characteristic sentiment of resignation, fatefulness and melancholia. On November 27, 2011, Fado was inscribed in the UNESCO Intangible Heritage Lists
*Saudade- symbolizes the feeling of loss (a permanent, irreparable loss and its consequent life lasting hurt).
