Musicians from Portugal and Sweden joined to communicate their music traditions.
Distant in space, under the universal language of music they found new textures
and bridges between North and South, one tradition and the other.
The repertoire is about Portuguese and Scandinavian folk music, from Fado songs
to Polska dances, brought to the ears by the sound colors of violin, mandolin,
Nordic mandola, harmonica and voice.
Simon Stσlspets, SΘrgio Cris≤stomo, Liana and Luis Peixoto are the faces of this
project which brings to stage traditions from their roots.

Is there something that connects Swedish polskas with Portuguese fado? At first
sight û nothing! Perhaps it was this simple fact that made me so interested in
the StockholmLisboa project. After listening to the record I immediately knew
the answer û in the musical emotion everything becomes possible. Fado is the
blues of Portugal û a music that means a lot, a music that makes a difference.
Fado is vocal music in the first place. A singer, fadista, is in focus,
accompanied by a small instrumental group. Swedish spelmansmusik is in many ways
its opposite û instrumental, solo, connected to danceà
But the keyword û the mutual core û is saudade, a Portuguese term for a state of
mind or an emotion. A feeling of sorrow, melancholy and longing. Often a desire
for something unattainable; an impossible love or a longing to a place that will
never be seen again. Saudade is always present in fado but its also a part of
Swedish music û even though we donÆt have a word for it.
In the feeling, in saudade, the musics and musicians meet. In saudade can the
two corners of Europe come together, the periphery becomes central and love
springs out.
