The cellist and singer Joana Guerra collaborates regularly with numerous musicians as well as in dance and theatre projects, creating a unique universe in constant ex- pansion. She has recorded four solo albums and now presents Chão Vermelho [Red Ground], which carries the sounds she discovers in an environment of experimentation that thrills her. Sounds that could transport us to an apocalyptic setting in which the voice emerges as divine breath.
