The Portuguese fado singer Cuca Roseta gives a modern twist to this traditional genre. Roseta (who began her musical career as a singer in a rock band) blends classic fado with jazz, bossanova, pop, and global music with equal ease and effectiveness—all without losing the soul of the music. Roseta proves just how versatile she is with her brand-new album Douce France (2026), on which she performs iconic French-language songs such as La Vie En Rose (Édith Piaf), Ne Me Quitte Pas (Jacques Brel), and Avec Le Temps (Léo Ferré), sung with the intensity of fado!
