Listen: Fado Underground
Listen to a performance in an underground cistern.
Lisbon, Portugal
Fado is the traditional Portuguese music of 'saudade:' a deep longing, a sound that is quintessentially of this nation, and is a typical must-do. There are many busy performances across the city on touristy stages, but we found a very special spot in which to listen to it: Offered every Friday (and some Saturday) evening throughout the year is this special (and small) performance, held in the abandoned water cistern underneath the Principe Real Park. The venue is small, usually only accommodating 15-30 guests.
Reservatório da Patriarcal, Principe Real - Lisbon
On Fridays and Saturdays at 19:00, Tickets: https://www.realfadoconcerts.com/en/agenda-1
