The best fado songs, their best performers and some of the most important musicians in Latin jazz today are joining an innovative album, "JazzInFado". This album seeks to widen the frontiers of fado, bringing together great fado singers, including Carlos do Carmo, Hélder Moutinho, Carminho, António Zambujo, Raquel Tavares, Marco Rodrigues, Ana Bacalhau, Cuca Rosetta, Maria Berasarte and Joana Almeida, who interpret emblematic themes of history of fado allied to the harmonies of Latin jazz.
"JazzInFado" celebrate the six years since the fado was raised to Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
The idea of joining these fado greats to jazz harmonies came from Óscar Gomez, a Cuban musician and producer, currently living in Spain, a five-time Grammy winner, a member of the Board of the Latin Grammy Academy and whose productions have sold more than 20 million records worldwide.
"I always liked being a transgressor and a rebel," says the producer. "What we did was to bring fado to jazz and harmoniously enrich it [...] and enter rhythms of the Caribbean, Flemish, Brazilian, bossa nova and tango. Enter the rhythms worked in Latin jazz and enrich the harmonies a little, always respecting, obviously, the melodies and the lyrics ".
"JazzInFado" was recorded between Madrid and Lisbon and on the recordings the fadistas were accompanied by mostly Cuban musicians, as is the case of Pepe Rivero or Ivan "Melon" Lewis.
"JazzInFado" is a unique object that highlights the immense richness of fado, but showing how this music also dialogues in an innovative way with jazz.
