Great show, talented artists and plentiful amount of information shared with the audience. We loved it!
This fado show was a great way experience a little of the fado style if you are unable to spend a whole evening. The performers were talented and the singers had incredible vocal control.
Awesome exposure to Fado music! The performers were all terrific and explained their artistry well, giving us a great feel for Fado!
Not accessible for people with mobilitt problems. Good music singing but very short for the money. We wouldn't go again. Not for kids.
Singers had great voices, guitar players played very nice, great acoustics in cave like building- would definitely recommend show.
My 21 year old daughter and I really enjoyed the show. It was just a 10 minute walk from our hotel. The venue is nice and had a very authentic feel in an intimate cellar like concert room. The added wine was a nice touch and the show was perfect length.
The place is very nice and the music is inspiring. It is 100% worth it.
My family and I enjoyed the cultural experience, with the guitarists and singers (plus their explanations of the songs) all excellent.
50 enchanted minutes Very good time spent with smiling and pleasant artists Very intimate in a lovely setting
This is a full hour of Fado music and a choice of port or muscatel wine to drink. One is seated in rows in a small basement area that is well decorated to look like a cave. I would have liked to have learned more history of Fado, although there was some discussion about singers and early Fado music. Subsequently, we learned that nearby restaurants have Fado that is included while you are eating dinner, although they require you to be quiet while the music is being played.
