Teresa Gabriel is a 27 year old singer-songwriter dividing her life between England and Portugal.
She started to play guitar when she was 9, piano at 12, and playing live when she was 15.
Inspired by Jeff Buckley, Lisa Gerrard, Kristin Hersch, Tori Amos, Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, Bulgarian Choirs, Ravi Shankar, the sufi poetry of Rumi and her travels around the world (Barcelona, Mexico, United States, England's huge acoustic circuit), she is crafting her own original, ecstatic and healing sound with deep ressonance as it explores intensely subtle musical landscapes.
With a powerful-mystical voice (classicaly trained and also with training in indian classical music ) that can be intense and delicate at the same time, and a very original guitar style (a mix of folk, flamenco, funk, rock with percussive groovy strummings and rich and sublime harmonies and progressions that give you goosebumps) Teresa's musical path has always been truthful and inventive.
With a voice that can be epic or delicate, an inventive, percussive and original guitar style, she plays folk with ethnic and mystical textures, songs which are prayers for healing and vision, drinking inspiration from life, Sufi poetry, ancestral wisdom, and travelling the world, with a nomadic and troubadour spirit.
