About

Tudo Isto É Fado gives New Yorkers an overview of fado, moving from the genre’s early influences to contemporary takes on the deeply emotional music that is entwined with Portugal’s identity, history and culture. The program challenges the current stereotypes of fado and explores the ways in which this complex poetic tradition continues to inspire young singers and musicians today. Even for Americans who are familiar with fado, this festival will be a revelation. The artists appearing—many of whom have never before performed in the US—have taken the tradition of fado and found a uniquely personal way to honor its roots while refracting it through a modern lens.
