Fado Bicha
Todos '18
Fado Bicha (Queer Fado) is an activist musical project created by Lila Fadista (voice) and João Caçador (guitar). It is genuine Fado, and it is also ‘queer’
because it seeks to be subversive. Their art is inspired by what we have been told about Fado in the 19th century – performed in brothels and shady taverns, a free expression of the people’s miseries, the outcasts’ news bulletin. Using Fado as a malleable tool, Fado Bicha gives voice and sound to the narratives of the LGBTI community, so barely visible in Portugal. This is a political project based on representativeness and on the challenging of social and artistic rules and barriers.
