Lisbon Fado Night

PortugalFestivalsDate pending official confirmation

Lisbon Fado Night offers an introduction to fado, the Portuguese music tradition traced to Lisbon in the 1820s. Often shaped by mournful melodies and lyrics about the sea, hardship, longing and fate, fado expresses the Portuguese feeling known as saudade. Visitors can listen to singers accompanied by the Portuguese guitar, an instrument closely associated with the genre, and experience a music tradition whose history has been passed down largely through oral memory. As the current programme and arrangements may change, check the latest official dates and details before making plans.
