Fado ao Centro

Experience a 150-year-old musical tradition from Portugal that evokes deep emotions! The ensemble FADO AO CENTRO presents urban and emotional Fado from Coimbra - a city with a unique Fado tradition. The male ensemble shines with its warm-toned guitars that deeply touch the hearts of listeners. Fado is mainly associated with Lisbon, but Coimbra has its own tradition with an all-male ensemble and differently tuned guitars. Its origins may be from Brazilian or Lisbon students, but even non-Portuguese speakers are moved by the melodies. “Fado ao Centro” was founded to continue this 150-year-old tradition, primarily through self-written songs.
