Overview
Visit: Fado na Baixa, Rua de Sao Joao 99, Porto 4050-553 PortugalThe show “Mine. Unique. Fado.” aims to let the audience get really intimate with Fado.Emblematic Fado themes are played live, along with segments of a short documentary, translated in English and French, which revisits, through testimonies of figures tightly associated with this musical genre, some of the key moments in the history of Fado, designated, in 2011, Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.The experience begins with Traditional Fado, the Fado of hoarse voices and careless language, diminished by the country’s aristocracy at the time. Then it explores the mysteries and evolution of the Portuguese Guitar, the faithful companion of all Fado singers. It also passes by Coimbra, the eternal city of students, which, swarming with passion and culture, witnesses the birth of its very own song, that, by the end of the 19th century, would be called Fado de Coimbra. The fourth segment of the show is dedicated to Amália Rodrigues, who brings new poets and gives Fado an unmistakable character and an unprecedented recognition across borders. We finally arrive to the present day and to the fusion of Fado with new contexts, people, musical styles and audiences.The show takes advantage of the simultaneous translation technology installed in the Fado na Baixa auditorium, which allows visitors to listen to multimedia content in Portuguese, English or French. Other languages will follow soon.

The show exceeded our expectations. It was so well organized, the host was so welcoming and polite. The players were super professional and the lady singer (along with the host singer) was stunning and unbelievably good.
The atmosphere was very cozy and positive.
Highly recommend to anyone!

We went to the show on our last day in Porto and it wouldn’t feel complete without this amazing experience. Everything about the performance was great. Both the musicians and singers were excellent and the atmosphere of the place gives a sense of intimacy needed to really feel the emotions encompassed by the music.
