Get tickets herePresence is the quality that best defines LINA’s performances. She feels what she sings and shares it generously with the audience— a true messenger of fado’s ability to renew the soul.
This year, LINA, whose full name is Lina Rodrigues, returns with a new release, Fado Camões, based on the poetry of Luís Vaz de Camões (1524–1580). Camões is considered Portugal’s greatest poet, and his mastery of verse has drawn comparisons to Shakespeare, Homer, and Dante.
On Fado Camões, Lina makes her debut as a composer and collaborates with star producer Justin Adams, who contributes rhythmic elements alongside Pedro Viana on Portuguese guitar and Ianina Khemelik on acoustic piano.
Adams grew up in Egypt and became deeply aware of the connection between blues and the traditional rhythms of the Maghreb region. The influence of African music on fado is well documented, and Adams has incorporated this into the production of the album.
