Following Fado Camões – a project in which she blended Camões’s poetry with fado and more contemporary musical styles – the multi-award-winning fado singer LINA_ continues on an artistic path that has established itself as unique within the Portuguese music scene: that of revisiting fado from a restless, contemporary and creatively open perspective, this time focusing on the songs and fado of Coimbra.
In COIMBRA, the artist takes the viewer on a journey through the various layers of Coimbra’s identity, exploring the city’s literary heritage, its academic heritage, its cosmopolitanism, student life and its deep connection with the region’s folk traditions.
Scheduled for release on 12 March 2027 by Galileo Music Germany, the album will be produced by the British musician Justin Adams (Robert Plant, Tinariwen), with arrangements by John Baggott (Portishead, Massive Attack). The album will be followed by an international tour across several countries.
The concert brings together memory, creativity and contemporary expression, reaffirming LINA_ as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Portuguese music.
