Fado Bicha definitely excited us seeing as they are a musical, performative and activist project in Portugal and a big representation of the LGBTQI+ community. They are Lila Fadista (voice & lyrics) and João Caçador (instruments and arrangements). Mixing up Fado and traditional roots with modern arrangements, they bring a subversion of the heteronormativity and stand for their values, such as gender equality while fighting against racism and all sorts of prejudice.
Would you love seeing Fado Bicha for Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021?
