“A traveling festival and showcase for Fado internationally, Fado Festival is celebrating its 14th world edition, since its beginnings in Madrid. The event travels every year to 18 major cities in Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia,” the organizers said in a press release.
Thus, the public will have an appointment with two concerts, by two emblematic voices of Portuguese Fado, namely Beatriz Felício on September 25 and Matilde Cid on September 26.
A Fado singer from Lisbon, Beatriz Felício captivates with her deep voice and moving interpretations. Inspired by the authenticity of traditional Fado, Beatriz reinvents this musical genre with a contemporary sensibility, giving it a unique touch. With her charisma on stage and rich musical heritage, Beatriz Felício is an iconic figure of the Portuguese Fado scene.
As for Matilde Cid, she embodies the new generation of Fado, combining cultural heritage and modernity with captivating grace. Originally from Coimbra, Matilde charms her audience with her captivating voice and connection to the soul of Fado. She embraces tradition while bringing a personal touch.
A true symbol of creative, emotional and transcendental resistance, the fado of the post-April 25 era, so often persecuted and mistreated, has taken on new wings and earned the prominent place it deserves in the musical panorama of Portugal and the world.
