An unmistakable, expressive voice and expansive music based on fado: this is "Fado Camões", the album by Portuguese singer and composer LINA_ released in spring 2024. "Fado Camões" are unique compositions whose lyrics come from the classic poetry of Portugal's most famous historical poet, Luís Vaz de Camões. "I became curious, I wanted to know more, beyond the 'Lusíadas' or the 'Sonetos'," explains LINA_, "and I discovered that his themes - change, childhood, love, heartbreak or the description of nature - fit into the context of fado and its metrics."
