The organization, in a statement released this Wednesday, states that the mix of sounds and embraces of cultures “perfectly reflects the spirit of the festival, as it symbolizes the harmony between different cultures and the different intersections in music as a unifying and aggregating element”.
“The mix of sounds represents the combination of varied styles, while the embrace of cultures highlights the acceptance and celebration of diversity”, he says.
The Caixa Fado Festival “is a true multicultural celebration, where, based on the fado musical style, we can see different musical traditions meet and merge, creating a rich and innovative artistic experience”.
The organization highlights that the invited artists, with Portuguese-speaking and African roots, bring to the stage a fusion of styles ranging from Portuguese fado to contemporary Angolan rhythms, providing a unique show.
