Full description
Sailors, fishermen and sea merchants, often away from home, were the
pioneers of this musical genre, an emotion of longing or homesickness for
their distant loved ones.
We want to take you on a walking tour through the historical neighborhoods
of Lisbon where fado has its roots so you understand the traditional lifestyle
of the city and to feel the vibe of the city.
Walking through the most emblematic places for Fado and for “fadistas” ,
where this music genre became famous, first as the sole of Lisbon but today
a whole Portuguese identity.
We start at Bairro Alto, where Fado became famous among the high classes,
heading next to Mouraria where, according to the traditions, the first famous
fado singer was born: Severa.
Next is Alfama where Fado can be heard in every corner and where you will
have a delicious Portuguese meal and a live fado show. Silence fado will be
sung.
