What To Expect

Cais do Fado

Discover passionate Fado musicians at an emblematic venue in a genuine and traditional concert of Fado, a UNESCO-listed Intangible Cultural Heritage. Accompanied by talented guitarists, the fado singer will perform emblematic melodies that echo through time. Admire songs like "Fado Menor," which brings with it a more melancholic atmosphere, and "Fado Corrido," which is an expression of a vibrant and determined Portuguese pride. Hear the voice of one of the city's best fado singers. Through her powerful and moving voice, she is transported to the narrow and nostalgic streets of Portugal's cities, where melancholy and longing mingle and are transformed into songs of profound beauty. Spend an hour feeling vocal poetry and the strumming of the guitar strings, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, but always full of emotion. Be warmly welcomed with a glass of one of the best Portuguese Port wines.Adress: Av. Diogo Leite nº108, 4400-111 Vila Nova de Gaia
