Overview

Four artists, male and female Fado singers and top musicians, open their hearts and invite you to get intimate with Fado in all its unique and different expressions. Immerse into the experience, with hand-picked personal testimonials in various languages, and see Fado up close and personal.

Experience first, traditional Fado, an intense style from Lisbon, where it all began. Then, enjoy the stylings of the unique Portuguese Guitar while tasting a Tawny Port. Listen and witness the Lisbon and Coimbra playing techniques.
Discover the Coimbra Fado, completely unique to the Portuguese people and sung live by a male singer, a former student at the Coimbra University, as tradition demands. Then, discover Amalia Rodrigues, the queen of Portuguese Fado. Watch how she transformed traditional Fado and brought unprecedented recognition.
Finally understand how Fado survives and thrives through the years, and how it is preserved, as you will see by the end of the show.

    I've been to a Fado before, but this was such a good combination of the history of Fado and the meaning of this form of music to the Portugese. I left feeling I had a Fado in my heart too! It was so well presented in a very cosy intimate environment and all the artists embodied the spirit of Fado. Thank you. It was music and poetry.

    This is a great option for some authentic Fado in the middle of the city. We chose this as we didn't want the commitment of staying for a long Fado evening in a restaurant. It's a really enjoyable way to spend an hour and learn a little about the tradition.

    Excellent 1Hour session of Fado with nice background video explaining the history location was small but comfortable. Serving of port is nice but probably unnecessary
