What is «O Fado»
«O Fado», the concert by Lina and Marco Mezquida at CaixaForum Valencia, is a reinterpretation of fado that balances tradition and innovation. The project stems from the connection between the voice of Lina, one of the leading interpreters of contemporary fado, and Marco Mezquida’s piano, together creating an intimate and expansive sound universe. According to CaixaForum, the repertoire includes original compositions, revisions, and new readings that explore the genre’s universal dimension, where each piece becomes a space for dialogue and discovery.
