Porto: Fado, the Oldest Concert in Town, with Port Wine

The project "Fado by Casa da Guitarra" intends to offer to you the essence of this musical genre in an evening of enchantment and wonder. During the hour-long concert, you will come in contact with very unique Portuguese cultural elements - Fado, Portuguese traditional string instruments, and Port wine - all of which are deeply related to Portuguese history. The fado performance takes place in an intimate setting with usually one or two singers, accompanied by a Portuguese guitar player and guitar players (playing a viola de fado). A traditional port wine will be served during the break to round out your evening and an illustrated postcard available in various languages will be offered, containing some explanation about the essence of Fado. It is advisable to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early.
