About

Cristina Branco, queen of contemporary fado, finds in the musical tradition an inexhaustible resource to feed the most audacious artistic adventures. The ensemble Des Équilibres, led by violinist Agnès Pyka, regularly crosses musical genres, bringing their favourite repertoire (20th century music) into contact with other universes. Invited by the project Season France-Portugal, the singer, accompanied by guitarist Bernardo Couto and that string ensemble, revisits the highly Portuguese territory of fado, contrasting it with the contemporary writing of unreleased works by Florentine Mulsant and Fátima Fonte. A unique way of building, abroad, a common European musical imagination.
