Feel the Soul of Fado in the Heart of Cais de Gaia
Step into an intimate and emotional journey through traditional Fado music, performed live by talented local musicians in the scenic setting of Cais de Gaia, with stunning views over the Douro River and Porto’s historic skyline.
For one unforgettable hour, immerse yourself in the soulful poetry of Fado, brought to life by the haunting sound of the Portuguese guitar. This UNESCO-recognized art form is celebrated here in its purest expression — not as a tourist show, but as a living tradition, proudly presented by local artists and supported by the community.
You’ll be warmly welcomed by the musicians themselves and enjoy a complimentary glass of Port wine.
Whether you’re a music lover or simply curious about Portuguese culture, this is your chance to truly feel the soul of Portugal — through its music.
Discover passionate Fado musicians at an emblematic venue in a genuine and traditional concert of Fado, a UNESCO-listed Intangible Cultural Heritage. Accompanied by talented guitarists, the fado singer will perform emblematic melodies that echo through time. Admire songs like "Fado Menor," which brings with it a more melancholic atmosphere, and "Fado Corrido," which is an expression of a vibrant and determined Portuguese pride. Hear the voice of one of the city's best fado singers. Through her powerful and moving voice, she is transported to the narrow and nostalgic streets of Portugal's cities, where melancholy and longing mingle and are transformed into songs of profound beauty. Spend an hour feeling vocal poetry and the strumming of the guitar strings, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, but always full of emotion. Be warmly welcomed with a glass of one of the best Portuguese Port wines. Adress: Av. Diogo Leite nº108, 4400-111 Vila Nova de Gaia
