Fabulous show! You not only hear from talented Fado singer and incredible guitar players, you’ll come away with a history and understanding of the origin of Fado. All this in a beautiful small venue… and a generous glass of port.
What a beautiful experience! So well explained, organised and curated. The music was so moving - I could feel the passion pouring out! Bravo! 👏
This was one of the highlights of our stay in Porto. The atmosphere was intimate, authentic, and incredibly moving from beginning to end. We really appreciated the interesting introductions between the songs, which helped us understand the history and emotions behind Fado. The musicians were outstanding, and both singers were exceptional. The female singer was absolutely phenomenal. Her voice was beautiful, powerful, and full of emotion. She captivated the audience from the very first note and gave us goosebumps more than once. Her performance was simply unforgettable. A very special moment was hearing the organizer share his own story about discovering Fado as a student. It made the evening feel even more personal and authentic. His own performance was equally impressive and reflected his genuine passion for this unique musical tradition. The quality of the music throughout the evening was outstanding, and the glass of Port wine was a lovely addition to the experience. We left deeply impressed and genuinely moved. We would highly recommend this performance to anyone visiting Porto. Thank you for such a memorable evening!
Nice mix of video explaining fado, great vocals and very talented guitarists. Great to see the interplay between vocals and guitar playing. Space is not too big. Intimate atmosphere.
The performances were phenomenal. The musicians and vocalists were all exceptionally talented. The historical presentation was also well done and added to the experience overall. It was a great evening.
This is the second time I have enjoyed a Fado show at Fado na Baixa, and as always it was spectacular, this time I had the opportunity to go with my mother and she loved it too, I am more than sure that I will return. Do not miss this great music and wine show.
A delightful evening learning about the history and importance of Fado in Portuguese culture. Gonçalo, our host for the evening was warm and welcoming. The musicians were captivating and extremely talented. I highly recommend adding this show to your Porto itinerary.
