Fado was Fabo - Booked for the 6pm show which is an hour long. Definitely not long enough for us, as it was AMAZING. Two guitarists - one of which actually makes the guitars for the shop. And two fantastic vocalists. After half an hour, you were given a glass of port to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this.

A place of talent and beauty! - Warning: at some point of the performance you may find yourself swept away by the powerful emotion of saldade - Portuguese for longing. Fado is a direct route to Portuguese soul and Casa de Gitarra is the place to experience it. It’s been three years in a row of visiting Porto and coming to this wonderful place where authentic fado rules. Can’t wait for our next annual visit when we’ll be treated to fado at its best - from longing to pure joy - all during one special hour at Casa de Guitarra!!

Perfect show! - Absolutely recommended. Musicians and singers (male and female) gave a show that was worth more than the asking price! I would go back there every evening. And the decor of the house is symbolic and apropos!
