Maria João

Born: June 27, 1956

Most singers perform a song. Maria João takes it apart, rebuilds it, and hands it back unrecognizable and unforgettable. 

A voice that improvises like breath, breaks like free jazz, and lands like home. Born in Lisbon in 1956, Maria João has spent four decades bending jazz into folk, avant-garde and electronica — from her 1983 debut Quinteto Maria João to her long-running partnership with pianist Mário Laginha, and to OGRE, her electronic project. Her most recent album, Abundância, travels between Lisbon and Maputo, produced by Luís Fernandes.
