Fado is more than a mere musical style, it's a particular way of feeling and the sung expression of the Portuguese soul. During this evening, you'll hear an amazing rendition of this beautiful, melancholic expression, over a Portuguese dinner in traditional Lisbon restaurant.
The origin of Fado is uncertain but along the way, the traditional music influences from Brazil, Africa and even the Middle East have contributed to it. But it was in Lisbon in the 18th century that this heady mixture of sounds and longing came together and created what is now recognised as Fado.
Be transported by some masters of its performance on this fado night, over a meal of traditional Portuguese fare in the history-steeped Alfama district. But not before a pre-dinner stop at the Senhora do Monte lookout – it offers a dazzling view of nighttime Lisbon below.
