Tammy Weis Sings Fernando Pessoa

Occurs on Wednesday June 5 2024

Approximate running time: 2 hours

Weis defines Soul Whisper as the “construction of a folk-oriented soundscape, but always with jazz influences”, which are her musical roots. The recording process of this album was intense: “Fernando Pessoa has changed the way I think and live my life, said Weis. He brought out emotion in me I didn’t know I had. A vulnerability in my voice that I hadn’t heard before”. The album itself is unprecedented: it’s the first time that a foreigner has set to music, a full album of Pessoa’s poetry. Fernando Pessoa was the most important Portuguese writer in the 20th Century & the album was given the approval of Fernando Pessoa’s nephew Luis Miguel Rosa Dias (1931-2019) who witnessed many of the recordings.
