Fado Bicha is an artivist project, created in 2017 by Lila Fadista and João Caçador. They draw inspiration from the early XIX century's underground settings when fado was sung in brothels and cheap taverns and was the free expression of the morally and economically outcast. Using fado as a versatile tool, Fado Bicha gives voice to the LGBTI community's narratives in Portugal. It is a political project of representation that questions social and artistic barriers based on subverting heteronormativity.
This video integrated Fados, Fairies and Viola, a program that focuses on a group of Portuguese artists and musicians working in and around forms of Fado and Portuguese traditional songs/instruments that reinterpret principles of identity, history, and belonging.
