Highlights

Cais De Gaia - Discover passionate Fado musicians at an emblematic venue in a genuine and traditional concert of Fado, a UNESCO-listed Intangible Cultural Heritage. Accompanied by talented guitarists, the fado singer will perform emblematic melodies that echo through time. Admire songs like “Fado Menor,” which brings with it a more melancholic atmosphere, and “Fado Corrido,” which is an expression of a vibrant and determined Portuguese pride. Hear the voice of one of the city’s best fado singers. Through her powerful and moving voice, she is transported to the narrow and nostalgic streets of Portugal’s cities, where melancholy and longing mingle and are transformed into songs of profound beauty. Spend an hour feeling vocal poetry and the strumming of the guitar strings, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, but always full of emotion. Be warmly welcomed with a glass of one of the best Portuguese Port wines.

Highly recommend - The band was friendly, kind to the audience, took time to explain Fado in three different languages, and had beautiful music. Great setting and enjoyed the Port wine. Intimate setting, maybe 40 people.

Unforgetable experience - It was a wonderful and spectacular concert, in a secluded and endearing atmosphere, with incredible musicians and a singer with a privileged voice. The beautiful songs, without a doubt an indelible memory in a city that will remain in our memory. It was a Fado recital that everyone should hear. Thank you very much for this beautiful concert.
