Artistic experience with a little history! - Went with family. A lovely experience and the artists were super friendly. We had a 6 pm show reservation that I needed to shift to the 7.30 pm show and they were so gracious and accommodating. The show itself was a fun experience. It’s a simple stage performance accompanied with video and some history of Fado. Overall a great experience.

Real Fado - A really excellent experience of fado which helped me learn a lot more about the music and its traditions in just one hour. We had 2 top quality singers (a man and a woman) who both gave emotional performances in 4 separate sessions and they were accompanied sensitively ,of course, by 2 guitar skilled guitarists who brought together the whole experience. On top of this we had a series of short filmed episodes to help describe and explain the fado traditions and its links with today. I’m so glad I made time to attend, it was a real pleasure and privilege. Thank you.

Great experience - Great introduction to fado, with some videos and explanations. A female voice, two musicians and a male voice for demonstrations. A glass of port to accompany it all. All for a fair price.

A great discovery - A real treat for our first time. A singer who has a magnificent and powerful voice who knows how to convey the feelings of the song. The singer was more gentle but with a magnificent voice too. Excellent musicians. Plus, we discovered the history of Fado (French translation using headphones) through videos. The Fado of Lisbon, of Coimbra.... Thank you for this beautiful moment.
