It all began with Fado Batido, a tap dance once practised in Lisbon. Fascinated by the dazzling, sensual energy emanating from this forgotten art form, the duo Jonas&Lander decided to revive its spirit: and the result is exhilarating! On stage, five dancers, including one fado singer, and four musicians reinvent tradition with rhythm and intensity. Long live BATE FADO!
