First was the Dance - she attends courses in New York and perform has a dancer in many shows in Portugal - but in 1983 Filipa Pais started a career as a singer, working since then with
people like Vitorino, Sergio Godinho, Joao
Paulo Esteves da Silva, Janita Salome, Bernardo Sassetti,Antonio Chainho, Uxia, Jose Peixoto,
Jose Mario Branco, Tito Paris or Chico Cesar.
Crossing experiences in many areas, like the
Portuguese traditional and popular music, jazz, fusion, or even fado, today we may say that
Filipa Pais is one of the best Portuguese
female singers. Her presence in the CD "Red Hot + Lisbon", with a few more portuguese speaking
artists, K.D. Lang and David Byrne, is just one proof more of her great quality.
Her CD "A Porta do Mundo" was rewarded with the Prize Jose Afonso, the most important prize for the Portuguese Popular Music.
Since 2005, Filipa Pais performs live with Eduardo Miranda (mandolin), Tuniko Goulart (guitar)and Giovani Goulart (drums/percussions/accordion) in a concert build over tradicional songs and influences from Portugal, Galicia, Brasil and Cape Verde. She has also a fascinating voice&piano live project with the composer and pianist Joao Paulo Esteves da Silva.
