Fado performance at the Clube de Fado, Lisbon, Portugal, April 22, 2017
There are certain cultural performances that one mustn't miss while traveling: Tango in Buenos Aires or Flamenco in Madrid. Another must-see is Fado in Portugal. A Fado performance is like no other form of music. It's soulful, gut-wrenching, emotional, and thrilling ... even if you don't speak Portuguese!. For a taste of the Fado experience, please check out the video above. (Note: the stage lighting in the small club was a red flood light, hence the color in the video).
