LisboaLove Fado
Overview
I am passionate about my city and its Fado. I have created this experience to share my knowledge of traditional Portuguese music and give my guests a truly authentic evening you will never forget.
In April 2018 I created the #1 rated walk in Lisboa (on another platform) and since then have met many guests from around the world. The most common thing I'm asked is where guests can see traditional Fado, and this has been my inspiration to create this project.
Inclusions
- Snacks - A Petisco (light portuguese traditional snack) is included
What to expect
LisboaLove Fado is the ultimate event to live and feel Portuguese Lisboa's traditional music.
Starting at 5PM on Friday’s and Tuesday's. I'll share some of our traditions and culture and a brief introduction to the history of Fado, to set the mood for our evening.
The LisboaLove Fado takes place on an exclusive venue. We're doing it in my apartment!
Please notice that pictures are from previous venues. I'll add new ones once I get them :)
It's a personal full experience only for the guests who book it, not joining a Fado Restaurant with others.
This will be followed by a 40-minute tribute concert to Amália Rodrigues, Portugal’s most famous and well-loved Fado singer. I will add some commentary during the concert to explain the essence and meaning of Amalia’s Fado and why it is such a huge part of the Portuguese soul and culture.
Since it is afternoon you may have walked a lot in our hilly city already, so we'll serve a snack of traditional petiscos. There's no Fado without some wine and olives too.
But don't worry - I'm not singing :)

The Fado experience hosted by Humberto is wonderful. It gets really emotional as you deep dive into the Fado's history and experience top musicians playing it with their heart and souls. We had the privilege to join the Fado experience with our family, and on top of the music and history, we got to know other participants and create a very good connection with them, with the musicians and with Humberto, our event host. Also, the tapas and wines served were excellent! :) Thank you very much for the great time!!We were a group of four visiting from Chicago and attended this event in last week of December 2019.

We were a group of four visiting from Chicago and attended this event in last week of December 2019. There were twenty other attendees besides us at this event. This event was very well organized and precisely executed by the host Humberto. The show is a balanced mix of Music, culture and history.The host went above and beyond in paying personal attention in making us all welcome and entertained with a unique blend information and humor. I am an artist and I really appreciated watching Fado in this unique setting with amazingly talented artists. The host, explained the brief meaning of each Fado composition enabling us to enjoy it more. I would definitely recommend this event to anyone who is interested in a genuine Fado experience with a quick cultural interaction with lovely Portuguese folks.This was our first trip to Portugal and my family and I knew nothing about Fado music except that it was Portuguese. The music was truly beautiful and our host was very knowledgeable but the best part was talking with the musician after the performance.

Gostei muito - Parabéns!Foi uma noite mágica. Humberto, com sua elegância e simpatia, nos propiciou um mergulho dilicioso na história do Fado. Cantora e músicos maravilhosos. O bate papo descontraído com a cantora, músicos e Humberto na hora dos queijos e vinhos foi um desfecho perfeito. Recomendo.
