One of the most acclaimed voices of the new generations of fado singers, an established fado singer and an exceptional pianist will be appearing at the Teatre Grec, in a performance organized in collaboration with the Barcelona Fado Festival.

They are part of the new generations who, despite sometimes interpreting pieces differently, have in no way divorced themselves from the fado tradition. Like Cuca Roseta, they also choose to compose their own pieces instead of simply performing the traditional repertoire. She is one of the representatives of the new generations of Portuguese fado, a tradition which, every year, has a night of its own at the Barcelona Grec Festival.

Cuca Roseta is a fado singer with seven records to her name and she has worked with such prestigious producers as Gustavo Santolalla and Nelson Motta. Her most outstanding creations in recent years include Amália por Cuca Roseta, a tribute to the great fado singer and actress Amália Rodrigues, and the more recent Meu, marking the artist’s long-awaited transition from performing to writing her own songs.

She will be followed by Mário Laginha on piano and the vocals of Camané, two artists that embody the spirit of Lisbon's neighborhoods and who have played together on a number of occasions and established a musical complicity, which will be evident when you see them perform. They will perform songs from Aqui está-se sossegado, an artistic project that won them a Latin Grammy nomination and which includes 20 songs, with fados both taken from fado tradition as well as songs from Camané's repertoire and previously unpublished compositions by Mário Laginha.
