Fado up close, with the songs explained
Male and female fadistas perform with Portuguese and classical guitar in one of two intimate venues: a stone-walled room near the SĂ© cathedral or a tavern-style space in Baixa.
Between songs the musicians explain fado's history, instruments and the meaning of each piece, so you follow even without Portuguese. A glass of Port or Moscatel is included.
