An experience to live. The musicians and singers convey their emotions to us through their songs. We feel it throughout the performance.
Fantastic Experience, so pleased that we attended this show. The musicians and singers were outstanding, with the additional narrative and information explaining the origins and history of Fado. Would definately recommend anyone wanting to experience something memorable during their visit to Porto.
Good show. I liked that they explain the history via audio between the songs. I did not know Fado and that helped me appreciate it. The wine was very delicious
A very professional and passionate performance. The small venue was central and easy to find, and air conditioned! The staff was very kind and provided explanations in English for the small audience. The talent of the Fado performers was second to none! Truly outstanding!
Very good experience to learn about musical culture Very warm welcome and the audio guide in Spanish worked very well
Wanted a little authentic Porto cultural experience and this delivered, highly recommended.
Well-structured information, very educational with focus on the most important things. They were committed. The music was amazing.
This is a wonderful experience, especially if you want to learn more about Fado and the culture surrounding it. It was strange to be in row seating for this experience, but the singers and the information made up for that. The male singer was the best male singer was really talented, the best we had heard and we had gone to three fado shows.
What a lovely experience! Two fado singers, male and female, great acoustic guitar artists and port wine during the show. The presentation explaining the history of the genre was informative and well put together. The evening was well paced and very, very enjoyable! Well worth it!
Beautiful Fado sang and played by local artists. The show included an historical overview of Fado and the great artists. Very friendly and genuine delivery.
