Constança Quinteiro live in Sesimbra

Experience Constança Quinteiro live on September 25th

Constança Quinteiro will perform at the Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Cabo Espichel in Sesimbra, Portugal, on September 25th, 2026. Quinteiro’s musical style blends Portuguese traditional music—particularly *cante alentejano* influences—with contemporary composition and improvisation. Her work frequently incorporates field recordings and explores themes of landscape, memory, and cultural identity. She is known for her vocal performances and use of instruments like the Portuguese guitar and various percussion elements.

The Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Cabo Espichel is a significant religious site dating back to the 14th century, though the current neoclassical sanctuary was constructed between 1759 and 1765 based on designs by Manuel Caetano de Sousa. It’s dedicated to Our Lady of Cabo Espichel, a devotion linked to miraculous occurrences reported by shipwrecked sailors and local communities seeking protection. The site itself is dramatically located on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, historically serving as a place of pilgrimage and maritime guidance. Prior to the sanctuary's construction, a hermitage existed on the site for centuries.
