Today, she is a regular performer at renowned fado venues in the city of Porto, such as Mal Cozinhado, Fado na Baixa, Casa da Guitarra, Ideal Clube de Fado, and Fado Vitória. Her performances are rooted primarily in traditional fado, whose origins she approaches with deep respect, while also incorporating elements of a more contemporary style. Whether in intimate settings or at major cultural events, Isa de Castro seeks to create moments of genuine connection with her audience, transforming fado into an experience of shared emotion and connection.
