A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
ABOUT
As 3 Marias" is a Portuguese music project that started in 2008 and is inspired by Latin music like Tango, Flamenco, Bolero, Bossa Nova, and Fado merged with other musical imaginariums, which the Portuguese music critic António Pires called "The new Invicta's Tango."
The group is now formed by Cristina Bacelar (voice and guitar), Fátima Santos (accordion), and Ianina Khmelik (violin). These three women met in other music projects like Frei Fado d'el Rei and Musa ao Espelho, where they found common ground for their creativity.
"As 3 Marias" have already had shows in different theaters from North to South of Portugal, music festivals, and also in Spain. They have been on a lot of radio and TV shows, where they got excellent reviews by specialized press (Visão, Revista Sábado, Jornal de Notícias, Jornal Sol, Correio da Manhã, Metro, Destak...).
Their first record called "Quase a primeira vez," 2009, was Antena 1's (Portuguese national radio station) record and is part of T.S.F (another Portuguese radio station) and Antena 1's daily playlist.
Besides the band's originals, this work presents a new version of the well-known theme "Vídeo Maria" by GNR and the collaboration of Sérgio Castro, from Trabalhadores do Comércio, on the theme "Tango do Vilão Rufia."
They are preparing their 2nd music record that will come out in September 2013, with production by Quico Serrano. This record will also feature the theme "Libertango" by Astor Piazzolla as well as several original themes and Alberto Almeida's collaboration, from Cabaret Fortuna, on the song "Maryjoana.
