fado ao centro印象

I'll share more about those who may have made a day trip here from other cities as I have. This show starts (6 pm) and ends early (50 minutes) so you have time to catch the transport back - in my case, to Porto. Many other fado shows start quite late!Be careful of the transport timings - especially the bus - as the exceptions are in Portugese. I actually did not plan to stay and watch as I wanted to get back earlier. But I'm glad I did.Well, fado done by a male voice makes for an interesting comparison to female ones. Senhor Joao Farinha puts on a nice show, explaining the history of fado and leads the audience to sing "Coimbra" or more famously "April in Portugal" at the end. He has a great voice, employs it tastefully and overall it was a wonderful experience. A must experience!The video clip I captured will be played many times! Or you can check out other video clips online.

A great place to experience Coimbra's long musical heritage (which is quite different from the lisboneta fado) Great concerts organized by this local cultural association, interesting fado related exhibitions and local records on sale. Really enjoyed the music and performances and looking forward to visit Fado ao Centro again.

This was my first experience with fado and my best. The singing and the guitarists was really good. The best thing is that they showed a passion to their arts and really wanted to spread it and educate us about it. I learned a lot about fado and Portuguese culture by going to this performance. It totally worth the 10 euro!

Was uplifting not depressing, fun. Although the venue was very dark to be eating at and they need the shush some locals, it was worth it.

I listen to Fado quite often but I've never really get the chance to know the history behind it. What Fado ao Centro presents to the public is a unique style of Fado, a tradition that only passed to the male students in the University of Comibra. I visited there with my family and I was expecting the performance to be very commercialized, since the centre was located at the heart of the tourist site. However, their touching performance proved that I was wrong and totally drove my prejudice away! The whole experience was similar to the idea of a black box theatre. The music, story telling, lighting, interaction between the performers and the audiences..... Everything was done perfectly! At the end of the performance you can also enjoy a glass of delicious free Port wine! I brought one of their CDs after the show and I still listen to it till now. I would say this is one of my most memorable experiences in the city of Coimbra!

It was so good to hear this music in an intimate setting, not as a performance for tourists but as a shared cultural experience.

I loved the visit to the Fado ao Centro. Coimbran fado is quite special, and not only because only men are allowed to sing it. I like the fact the centre provides a visitor with a full experience that helps them understand the fado and all of its rich history and tradition. The concert begins with an introductory movie after which a singer and two gitar players perform. Each song is explained both in English and Portuguese beforehand to put it into context. It was a great experience and I think it's much better than fado in a restaurant which can be quite demanding because you have to put your cutlery down, stop eating and listen. Here there are no distractions and you can fully enjoy the fado.

The guitar players and singers were great! The intimate setting added to the enjoyment as we felt drawn into the fado world of music in Coimbra. Was sorry when the last song finished.....will return. Highly recommend this introduction to fado.

This is a great introduction to fado. There is a performance in the evening for about 45 minutes. The musicians are very good and introduce the audience to fado. After we went to the courtyard and enjoyed a glass of port. It was a very nice experience in a lovely city.
