Fado Tour: Dinner and a Fado Show with Lyric Translations
Experience a Fado dinner show with a guide who will translate the lyrics and share the history of this informal but beautiful cultural practice.
Activity Overview
Why We Think It’s Great:
This is wonderful for anyone who wants more background on Fado and to understand what is being sung. A guide will provide education and insights into the music and its origin and then translate the lyrics for you at dinner. It’s a great introduction that gives you a deeper understanding.
A tour isn’t required – if these extras don’t call your name, you can skip the tour and enjoy a Fado house dinner on your own.
