If you are looking for a cultural music experience then this is a very good choice. The glass of wine is a nice touch.
Great experience and gives you a sense of what Fado is with cometary. Translation or reference to the words in English would help.
Great show, talented artists and plentiful amount of information shared with the audience. We loved it!
This fado show was a great way experience a little of the fado style if you are unable to spend a whole evening. The performers were talented and the singers had incredible vocal control.
Awesome exposure to Fado music! The performers were all terrific and explained their artistry well, giving us a great feel for Fado!
Not accessible for people with mobilitt problems. Good music singing but very short for the money. We wouldn't go again. Not for kids.
Singers had great voices, guitar players played very nice, great acoustics in cave like building- would definitely recommend show.
My 21 year old daughter and I really enjoyed the show. It was just a 10 minute walk from our hotel. The venue is nice and had a very authentic feel in an intimate cellar like concert room. The added wine was a nice touch and the show was perfect length.
The place is very nice and the music is inspiring. It is 100% worth it.
My family and I enjoyed the cultural experience, with the guitarists and singers (plus their explanations of the songs) all excellent.
