An unmistakable expressive voice. Spacious music based on fado. This is "Fado Camões", the new album by Portuguese singer and composer, LINA.

“Fado Camoes” is a unique composition based on the classic poetry of Portugal’s most celebrated historical poet, Luís Vaz de Camões and follows on from the critically acclaimed album “Lina_Raül Refree” which celebrated the songs of Amália. LINA_ is now in the company of British producer and musician Justin Adams, in what turns out to be a more personal album, based on the lyrics of Camões, with compositions from traditional fados and also written by LINA_. For this new project, LINA_ researched the poetry of Camões As LINA_ says in her own words, "I became curious, I wanted to know more, beyond ‘The Lusíadas' or the 'Sonetos', and I discovered that Camões' themes - change, childhood, love, falling out of love or the description of nature - could be adapted to fado and its metrics."

After the wide recognition of “Lina_Raül Refree”, there are justified expectations for this new work. In 2020, “Lina_Raül Refree” was voted album of the year in the prestigious World Music Charts Europe and also won the first edition of the Carlos do Carmo Prize 2021. Now, with “Fado Camoes” a new chapter is now beginning alongside musician, composer and producer, Justin Adams, best known for productions featuring Robert Plant, Rachid Taha, Tinariwen, Jah Wooble or Souad Massi as well as collaborations with distinguished names such as Brian Eno or Sinead O' Connor. In a nutshell: someone who has always been committed to the idea of mixing the traditional with contemporary elements. Growing up in Egypt, he promoted the encounter between the blues and the traditional dynamics of Maghreb music, and now these influences have been carried over into his work with fado singer, LINA_.
