Fado in Lisbon

Posted 1 year ago by avatar ardi in response to avatar fhonny's question: What are the traditional means of entertainment in Lisbon? (give a different answer) .

I believe Portugese really have a thing for sad ways of expressing themselves. I say that because I went with my boyfriend to a traditional type of "concert" called Fado two weeks ago. Fado combines singing and nostalgic narrative poetry. We wanted to listen to the popular artists, so we went to a couple of bars on Rua Misericordia Street and arround Igreja de Sao Roque. The concert is emotional in itsself, but I must tell you that so are the prices.
