Cristina Branco was born in December, 1972, in Almeirim, Ribatejo, Portugal, where she still lives. Her music is deeply rooted in tradition, yet essentially modern.
She grew up far from the fado houses of Lisbon and nothing suggested that she was predestined for the fado. Like almost all young Portuguese born after the revolution of 1974, she was interested in folk music, jazz, blues, bossa nova but not in fado. She regarded it as a genre for a different generation.

She grew up far from the fado houses of Lisbon and nothing suggested that she was predestined for the fado. Like almost all young Portuguese born after the revolution of 1974, she was interested in folk music, jazz, blues, bossa nova but not in fado. She regarded it as a genre for a different generation. This lasted until her 18th birthday, when her grandfather gave her the album Rara e Inédita by Amália Rodrigues. Suddenly, Cristina Branco discovered all the emotions that the genre could offer in the close connections that arose among voice, poetry and music. The amateur singer - then studying communication sciences and still full of her ambition to become a journalist - began to develop her vocal technique and to take her new vocation seriously.
After that, Cristina studied the poems from which major fado lyrics are taken.
Since then, Cristina has worked on her fado repertory, accompanied by Custódio Castelo on guitar and as composer.
Halfway through the nineties, other young musicians also found a new means of expression in the fado and this contributed to a surprising renaissance. Just as they did, Cristina Branco began to make clear choices in which respect for the tradition went hand in hand with the desire for renewal.
There can be no doubt that Cristina Branco is developing her own style from a number of primary components. She employs a traditional group (voice, Portuguese guitar, guitar and bass guitar) and offers us concurrently a light, warm and experienced voice; she mixes the traditional fado with themes and folk songs that are personal favourites and seems always to choose the words of the best Portuguese, or even Dutch poets with discretion.

Menino D'Oiro
by Cristina Branco
O meu menino é d'oiro
É d'oiro fino
Não façam caso que é pequenino
O meu menino é d'oiro
D'oiro fagueiro
Hei de levá-lo no meu veleiro.
Venham aves do céu
Pousar de mansinho
Por sobre os ombros do meu menino
Do meu menino, do meu menino
Venha comigo venham
Que eu não vou só
Levo o menino no meu trenó.
Quantos sonhos ligeiros
Pra teu sossego
Menino avaro não tenhas medo
Onde fores no teu sonho
Quero ir contigo
Menino de oiro sou teu amigo
Venham altas montanhas
Ventos do mar
Que o meu menino
Nasceu pra amar
Venha comigo venham
Que eu não vou só
Levo o menino no meu trenó.
O meu menino é d'oiro
É d'oiro é de oiro fino ....
Venham altas montanhas
Mój chłopak jest ze złota
Z czystego złota
Nie przypadkiem taki mały
Mój chłopak jest ze złota
Złota w pełni wysrtarczającego
Wezmę go na moją łódź.
Zapraszamy ptaki na niebie
aby lądowały delikatnie
W ramionach mojego małego chłopca
Mojego chłopca, mojego chłopca
Chodź ze mną się przejśc gdzie nie pójde tylko
Biorę na moje sanki chłopaka.
Jak wiele snów świetła
Dla twego (s)pokoju
Chłopcze skąpy nie bój się
Gdzie idziesz w swój sen
Chcę isć z tobą
Złoty chłopcze jestem twoim przyjacielem
Chodzcie wysokie górach
Morskie wiatry
To jest mój chłopak
Zrodzony do miłości
Chodź ze mną się przejśc gdzie nie pójde tylko
Biorę na moje sanki chłopaka.
Mój chłopak jest ze złota
ze złota, z czystego złota
Chodzcie wysokie górach
