Tammy Weis sings Fernando Pessoa
Venue: World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens
Date: 27/06/2025
Type: Music
Soul Whisper draws inspiration from Pessoa’s life, tracing his journey from South Africa to Lisbon’s Alfama district. Tammy Weis sings Fernado Pessoa with the Pedro Velasco Trio – ´Soul Whisper´ Album Launch It was amongst the paintings and illustrations of a contemporary artist at a gallery in the heart of Lisbon’s Alfama district, that was the inspiration for Tammy Weis’ latest project. The art focused on the images of the great poet Fernando Pessoa and acted as a catalyst for the Canadian singer and composer to collaborate with local and foreign musicians, and embark on creating a sound that matched poetry starting from Pessoa’s early years in South Africa and the atmosphere of Lisbon’s mythical area Alfama. This was Tammy’s starting point, and from there she constructed a folk oriented soundscape embedded in her beloved jazz. Joining to produce and perform on the album is Portugal’s very own and renowned Rui Veloso.
