== Biography == [[File:Lula Pena - Taste the World - WOMAD 2016.jpg|thumb|left|Pena at [[WOMAD]] in 2016]] As well as fado ("phado" as she prefers), Pena's music is strongly influenced by a range of other types of music, including [[chanson]], [[flamenco]] and [[blues]], as well as music from Mexico, Greece and Italy. Lula Pena says her approach to music is “wandering borderless and intuitively through different languages and sounds”.<ref name="Times170217">{{cite news|last1=Bungey|first1=John|title=World: Lula Pena: Archivo Pittoresco|url=https://www.thetimes.com/culture/music/article/world-music-lula-pena-archivo-pittoresco-lwxzkhq8p|access-date=April 4, 2017|work=[[The Times]]|date=February 17, 2017|location=London}}</ref><ref name="Guardian260117">{{cite news|last1=Denselow|first1=Robin|title=Lula Pena: Archivo Pittoresco review – from shape-shifting fado to the Twilight Zone|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/jan/26/lula-pena-archivo-pittoresco-review-fado-crammed-discs|accessdate=April 4, 2017|work=The Guardian|date=January 26, 2017|location=London}}</ref> She performed at WOMEX 14 Official Showcase Selection at [[WOMEX|World Music Expo]] in October 2014.<ref name="womex" /><ref name="womex14_OSS">{{cite web |url=http://www.womex.com/realwomex/2014/official_showcase_selection.html |title=WOMEX 14 Official Showcase Selection |year=2014 |work=womex.com |accessdate=December 4, 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141207044440/http://www.womex.com/realwomex/2014/official_showcase_selection.html |archivedate=December 7, 2014 }}</ref>
