Fado is enjoying a global resurgence, propelled not only by worldwide tours of artists who perform it, but also by the experiences of visitors to Portugal who have heard the music in the small taverns and community collectives where it was born and still thrives. Fado captures the spirit and inventiveness of Portugal, as well as some of its boldest contradictions, in a seamless tradition stretching out over more than 200 years.
Ricardo Ribeiro’s powerful voice and an astounding emotional range have made him a luminary of contemporary fado. He has garnered worldwide recognition from audiences, the press, and his peers for his total commitment to fado, Portugal’s most emblematic and mysterious music.
Diana Vilarinho’s recent self-titled recording, released in 2021 by Sony Music Entertainment, is the product of deep and longstanding experiences in Lisbon’s most traditional fado houses. While still only in her 20s, Diana brings a maturity and grace to a stunning variety of traditional fado music. She is unquestionably a voice for the future.
The concert will showcase the voices and music of fado in a magical evening straight from Lisbon.
