"With her unwavering passion for traditional fado, she delivers a poignant homage to this symbolic musical genre that is deeply rooted in Portuguese culture. The lyrics of Old Fado deal with grief, the pain of separation and death. But Cristina Branco's lyrics show: It can also be sunnier. In her songs, the neo-fado singer looks not only at the dark side, but also at the beauty of life" - Deutschlandfunk Kultur
