What's in Store?
Head over to the iconic Casa da Guitarra (or House of the Guitar) for an unforgettable fado performance in the heart of Porto.
By day, the Casa da Guitarra is a traditional instruments shop, but it transforms into an electric concert venue by evening. Moreover, you will be enjoying the performance not too far away from two historic landmarks: the Luís I Bridge and Porto Cathedral. You will also be served a glass of reserve port blend during the interval. Combine that with the sound of a 12-stringed Portuguese guitar and the melody of fado music to enjoy an immensely authentic Portuguese experience.
What's so special about fado?
Fado, which translates to 'fate' in English, is a beloved music genre that has come to represent the national pride and glory of Portugal. Its distinct sound was developed in the seafaring communities and ports of 19th-century Lisbon. Additionally, fado also imbibes influences from places like South America and the former Portuguese colonies in Africa. The performance comprises three musicians - a female lead singer (or fadista), a Portuguese guitar player, and a guitar player (viola de fado). For around 60 minutes, immerse yourself in the evocative quality of songs that give voice to feelings of longing, melancholy, and nostalgia. Fado transcended music to symbolize the cultural expression of a forgotten nation and the art form still resonates with music lovers of this day.
