Phenomenal experience — not to miss while in Porto! I booked this ticket because it seemed like a must-do while visiting, and came in not quite knowing what to expect. We were completely blown away by the insane level of talent from the singers and guitarists. The intimate, historic venue added so much to the atmosphere. It’s warm down there, so dress accordingly. The musicians left a lasting impression on us, and I would recommend this to anyone visiting Porto.
It was a truly enjoyable and unforgettable evening. In an ancient tavern in the Miragaia district of Porto, we were warmly welcomed and escorted to our VIP seats with a glass of port wine. Inside, it was cozy and cool in the heat outside. The room is small, and you are practically on stage and in the midst of the action. This is not an event for tourist groups with cheap food offerings and pseudo-fado. Here, it is a unique and intimate encounter and connection with two styles of fado from Lisbon and Coimbro that have developed over generations. Unique singing with black cloaks in one style and a lively and passionate manner in the other fado style. The audience was international, the artists and musicians varied in performance but united in talent. Whether singing or music or both together - it was beautiful, unexpectedly beautiful, sometimes romantic, sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes lively, sometimes contemplative, sometimes joyful, sometimes moving. It was truly pure enjoyment - thank you very much for that.
Very intimate little place as described in the advertisement. We spent a very interesting hour. Several artists performed on stage and different styles were sung.
I had good things about this place in Porto while searching in a Lisbon site. We grabbed spots for the last session same day since the earlier sessions were filled. It was a fairly small and intimate place. The singers and guitar players were all great. The first group was performing in the Coimbra style which had a vibrant and pleasant vibe. The second was traditional Fado. The quality of both singers and players was high. The room was perfect for the music.
Good place to experience fado, a tavern with character.
Concert with 2 different groups, classic fado performed very well by both. Good contact with the audience and nice atmosphere. Intimate and pleasant local, easy serving that suited to the place / mood: only white / red port wine + water.
Wonderful intimate experience of 2 types of Fado music, beautiful guitar and haunting vocals. Refreshments Limited to wine or water, but hey we're there for the music! Location- stone cellar, acoustic baffled ceiling. Atmospheric lighting.
A wonderful and very emotional show. Varied in its unique genre. I recommend it to anyone who loves music of all kinds. Port wine is absolutely appreciated!
Great location , intimate venue and great fado experience . Would definitely recommend to see this if you are staying in Porto
Excellent concert heating Fado traditional and Fado from Coimbra. The atmosphere was very intimate. We really enjoyed it.
