Fado rewired and recast. Ra?l Refree - one of Europe's most innovative producers (Rosal?a, Sonic Youth?s Lee Ranaldo) - meets Lina, a Portuguese singer renowned for her haunting interpretations of Amalia's classic repertoire. Analog synths and hushed sonics. Making history by breaking the rules. Shedding the skin. A fresh beginning. That?s what singer Lina and producer/multi-instrumentalist Ra?l Refree have given Portuguese fado on Lina_Ra?l Refree. They?ve sloughed off the old trappings and exacting traditions of the country?s national music and given it into a perfect fit for the 21st century. Together, they?ve reinvented the music that holds a nation?s soul, and done it while keeping the rich beauty of the melodies and the aching poetry of the words that are such a vital part of the tradition.
