Catarina Dos Santos

Catarina Dos Santos is part of a new generation of musicians and composers seeking new approaches to traditional styles of music. She comes from Barreiro, Portugal, and from an early age she was exposed to all genres of music, more specifically jazz and funk, gospel, and also traditional music from Portugal, Angola, Cape Verde, and Brazil. When a teenager, she started writing her first songs. In 1998 she was the lead singer and co-composer in her first band, “Edworld”, which fused jazz and pop music.
