Live fado at Casa do Fado in Porto with a glass of Port wine, UNESCO context, and intimate acoustics.

“It was the BEST FADO show experience for me. The moment I entered, Gentleman at the door welcomed us so nicely and I felt like I visited family home. Before the show, the woman was in the show and she made us feel so comfortable until the show starts. (plz forgive me that I couldn't get your name) Duration of the show was 1 HOUR, guitarists and the singer showed their passions. KUDOS to RICARDO, DIOGO and CARLA. They are amazing !!!! Especially I was so impressed by RICARDO, he explained about background and history of FADO. Ótimo!!!”
