At the same time, she maintains the link with her family culture, her roots and explores traditional repertoires around fado, cante alentejano and songs from oral traditions of the Lower Beira on site and also in France in the project Messejanaalways accompanied by her adufe. In a process of transmission, she brings to life and travels the culture of oral tradition by organizing singing and percussion workshops from Portugal.
Céline travels through Portuguese-speaking musical cultures and through a varied repertoire.
Céline Costa sings “live” Let the married women sing (Let the Brides Sing), a poem that appears in the collection Here is my heart, break it with a hammer.
All my life I have been a shepherdess
Of good will
I was born to be a shepherdess
Not to go to the city
I keep my little goats
And it’s a life that pleases me
I was born to be a shepherdess
Not to be a student
Not to be a student
I repeat it
Keeping my little goats
I learned to read and write
I learned to read and write
With desire and rigor
Without ever going to school
And without having a teacher
Keeping my little goats
This is my job
Poem A pastorinha (The Shepherdess), extract from “Here is my heart, break it with a hammer”
