Your Experience
What's in Store?
Visit the iconic Casa da Guitarra (House of the Guitar) for an memorable fado performance right in Porto’s heart. During daylight hours, it serves as a traditional instruments shop but transforms into a vibrant concert venue by evening.
Nearby historic landmarks include the Luís I Bridge and Porto Cathedral. Enjoy this experience with a glass of reserve port blend served during the interval. The sound of a 12-stringed Portuguese guitar combined with fado music provides an authentic taste of Portugal.
What's so special about fado?
Fado, meaning 'fate' in English, is deeply beloved as it embodies national pride and glory for Portugal. Originating from the seafaring communities and ports of 19th-century Lisbon, its unique sound also incorporates influences from South America and former Portuguese colonies in Africa.
The performance features three musicians: a female lead singer (fadista), a Portuguese guitar player, and another guitarist playing viola de fado. For about 60 minutes, you’ll be explored in the evocative songs that express longing, melancholy, and nostalgia. Fado has grown beyond music to become a cultural expression of Portugal’s heritage and continues to captivate audiences today.
