(PT)

“Fado Camões” "Fado Camões" succeeded "LINA_Raul Refree" in 2024 and established LINA_ as one of the most tremendous Portuguese singers of the present day, not only within fado, the vast territory she still navigates, but in music overall. In her previous work with the same Spanish producer who crafted the shadow that covered "Los Angeles", ROSALÍA's debut, LINA_ bent towards the enormity of Amália to gauge the reach of her voice. Subsequently, her immense talent was confirmed in astonishing stage performances: gifted with a voice of transparency and absolute lightness, brimming with soul and charisma, LINA_ impresses with the dedication and depth of the soul she carries in her voice.

 "Fado Camões", on the other hand, features Justin Adams at the studio controls, another producer who admits to being distant from fado (his work has spanned from Jah Wobble to Robert Plant, Tinariwen and Rachid Taha) and is therefore capable of disregarding conventions and forging new paths. And, once again, on stage this translates into a show of immense beauty. Once again, this translates into an immensely beautiful show on stage. Accompanied in concert by Ianina Khmelik (violin, piano and synthesizers) and Pedro Viana (Portuguese guitar), LINA_ demonstrates that she is one of the artists who best understands that the stage is a sacred place where what is recorded in the studio transforms into vivid and complete art. In the concerts of "Fado Camões" , her voice, which can be lightning, understands that it suffices to be a simple trembling light to still illuminate everyone who easily surrenders to it. It's not magic, it's the true artistry of a genuine artist.
