Cristina Branco's aesthetic roots lie in traditional Portuguese music, but the influences of jazz, literature and the musicians with whom she has shared the stage give her art a universal character. With eighteen albums released and countless concerts around the world, she is a true ambassador of Portuguese culture and language. She joins the Matosinhos Jazz Orchestra in a concert that highlights the more jazzy side of her repertoire, marked by encounters with authors and composers such as Mário Laginha, João Paulo Esteves da Silva, Sérgio Godinho and José Afonso.
