Guerreiro says that "fado sings life" and not just tragedy, and that it can cure the souls of the people.

Her take on fado is very traditional, and uses only the three traditional instruments: 12-stringed Portuguese guitar, Spanish guitar and double bass.

New songs are composed by her Portuguese guitarists Paulo Valentim and João Viega, as well as the singer occasionally.

However, the new works are very similar in sound to the traditional ones.

She does update traditional fados by using the words of Portuguese poets.

One example of this is Ancorado en Mim, which takes the melody of Santa Lucia and matches it with a poem by Ana Vidal.

Like all current female fado singers, she is compared to 20th century fado singer Amália Rodrigues.
