More information about Fado Bicha at Hyde Park Book Club tickets
In their UK premiere, the unashamedly Queer, anti-racist and anti-fascist musical duo Fado Bicha (Lila Fadista and João Caçador) will perform their unique blend: traditional Portuguese Fado singing, feisty electric guitar and daring political messages.
Giving voice to all in the LGBTQ+ community, racial minorities and oppressed communities, Lila and João will introduce their revolutionary musical project, 50 years after Portugal's fascist dictatorship fell. Students, young professionals, Queer-identifying locals and international music fans will love this concert. Audience sing-alongs encouraged!
Doors will open at 7.30. Enjoy a drink at the Hyde Park Book Club bar before, during or after the gig.
