Teresa Cristina Macedo Gomes (born February 28, 1968) is a Brazilian singer born in Rio de Janeiro. Her musical style is MPB and Samba.
According to Teresa, she was first exposed to the music of Candeia at the age of 7 through her father, but at that time found the music outdated. During her childhood and adolescence, Teresa says, she was mostly influenced by foreign singers, such as Donna Summer, Barry White, [1] Van Halen and Iron Maiden. At the age of 25, a friend from university gave her a CD of Candeia, at which point she changed her mind about Candeia's musical style. [2]
In 1995, Teresa took part in the A Cria project in the Gavea Planetarium in Rio de Janeiro. Following that project, she was invited by Brazilian poet and songwriter Chacal to take part in the CEP 20.000 project. She later performed in the Casa da Mãe Joana, after being promoted by Brazilian singer and composer Wilson Moreira.
At the beginning of her career, Teresa performed mostly in bars in Rio de Janeiro, and especially in the Madureira neighborhood, singing sambas of Jair do Cavaquinho, Monarco and Argemiro da Portela, among others.
In 1998 she started performing in the Bar Semente, in Lapa, where she was a leading figure in reviving the musical heritage of the neighborhood. The band which still accompanies Teresa was formed in that bar: Teresa Cristina e Grupo Semente. The group's lead guitarist is João Callado, grandson of Brazilian writer Antonio Callado and son of artist Tessy Callado. [3]
In 2012, she released a tribute album to the music of Roberto Carlos with the band Os Outros. [4]
In 2016 she released Teresa Cristina Canta Cartola and in 2018, Teresa Cristina canta Noel. [5]
In March 2020, Teresa did a live show on her Instagram page for her fans who were in quarantine due to COVID-19. [6]
Samba, also known as samba urbano carioca or simply samba carioca, is a Brazilian music genre that originated in the Afro-Brazilian communities of Rio de Janeiro in the early 20th century. Having its roots in Brazilian folk traditions, especially those linked to the primitive rural samba of the colonial and imperial periods, it is considered one of the most important cultural phenomena in Brazil and one of the country's symbols. Present in the Portuguese language at least since the 19th century, the word "samba" was originally used to designate a "popular dance". Over time, its meaning has been extended to a "batuque-like circle dance", a dance style, and also to a "music genre". This process of establishing itself as a musical genre began in the 1910s and it had its inaugural landmark in the song "Pelo Telefone", launched in 1917. Despite being identified by its creators, the public, and the Brazilian music industry as "samba", this pioneering style was much more connected from the rhythmic and instrumental point of view to maxixe than to samba itself.
