The initial major purpose was explore sound to learn the tools and revisit some of the songs from the ancestral Portuguese oral tradition repertoire, lined within this more contemporary line.

The EP EARTH VIBRATIONS in April 21 co-produced with lady Elly Kellner from The Netherlands, featuring 9 other artists from all over the world. Later, an invitation made by Sinaubi Zawose from Tanzania, to produce the song “MATESO – COVID19”, later included in his album “Tanzania”, released by Soliton.

A trilogy of singles started in November 21 with “RAIN” co-composed with the Portuguese artist Rui Zilhão. In December “PACHAMAMA”, were Senhora do Ó invites Diego Origlia from Italy, Francis MBE from Cameroon, Rona Geffen from Israel and Sandro Friedrich from Switzerland, to gather on co-creation.

This single also features Les Teriba from Benin, and Juan Pablo Villa from Mexico. 


Bio Andreia João

In 2010 started a new cycle writing and composing music for her own repertoire. ÓAI d'IR, a non-traditional project based in traditional music. Original repertoire of acoustic songs based on world percussions, and also in melody, using ethnic instruments, including instruments of traditional Portuguese root. A project produced by Miguel Simões and Andreia João in co-authorship.

Invited by the producer and multi-instrumentalist JÚLIO PEREIRA to sing the song “Lagoa das Sereias” in his álbum “Praça do Comércio” from 2017, and in 2015 also invited to sing with the traditional singer ISABEL SILVESTRE, in the album “Cânticos da Terra e da Vida”, both albums released in Portugal by Tradisom.

Since 2009, Andreia is the singer/performer for NOIDZ, a band of aliens arising from the Planet. A fusion between Metal, Trance and Traditional Portuguese Music. Participates in the band's second album “2.0.1.3.”, released in April 2013, with special guests such Fado singer KÁTIA GUERREIRO and again, JÚLIO PEREIRA.

One of the greatest experiences was singing with CRAMOL, a polyphonic chorus of women. Traditional portuguese singing, one of the richest heritage of portuguese traditional music "à capella".
