BATE FADO (2021)
Jonas&Lander's most recent creation entitled Bate Fado is a hybrid performance, between dance and fado concert, designed for four dancers, a fado singer and four musicians. Like most of urban musical styles, such as Samba or Flamenco, Fado also had its own dances. In Lisbon, the dance with the most expression was Fado Batido, a dance inspired by an energetic and virtuous tap dance.
In Bate Fado, Jonas&Lander propose to reinterpret and to recover the act of hitting (tapping) Fado, where the quality of a percussion instrument emanates from dance in dialogue with the voice and the guitars.
Bate Fado reveals itself as the first step to recover the dance that Fado has lost.
