Jennifer Bettencourt - Fado, Distilled

Luso-Canadian fadista Jennifer Bettencourt aims to transport you to Lisbon with the evocative blues of Portugal--fado. Born in the heart of Lisbon's historic neighbourhoods and lovingly brought to Toronto for all audiences to enjoy, experience Portuguese folk music rich with history and timeless emotions. Accompanied by skilled guitarists Hernani Raposo and Valdemar Mejdoubi, plus a special surprise guest, Jennifer expertly blends the traditional bittersweet essence of "saudade" with the modernity of an artist fervently keeping the flame of fado burning. Spend your Sunday on a passionate Iberian journey in a Canadian "tasca", regardless of whether or not you understand Portuguese, and let the universal language of song wash you away into a sea of emotions.
