The records
Three releases, from 2014 to 2020. The EP and the single play here on the page. The debut album has left every platform — what remains of it is the running order, the lyrics and the live recordings.

Written for other voices
Sung by others
Three fado singers have recorded lyrics of hers. Writing for other voices is rarer than singing, and it is the part of the work that does not carry her name on the sleeve.
