When visiting Portugal you have to listen to the Portuguese Guitar and the instrumental Fado and feel the emotions that are related with this musical instrument, one of the symbols of this nation. This is a unique and original cultural experience that can not be found anywhere in the world. The best show in Faro (trip advisor classification) with more than 30000 visitors for 7 years.
20 min - Exposure to the history of the old city walls and the village arch and how it was affected by the 1755 earthquake. Rooftop overlooking the old city and the nests of the majestic storks.

We were strolling through Faro and saw the announcement and immediately went to the 12pm concert-session-presentation. It was definitely one of the wow-moments of our trip to Faro. Joao took us into the world of Fado music with passion, inspiration and a lot of information. A must-do when in town!
I definitely enjoyed this. It's a talk and demonstration of Fado, along with some audio-visual components, by a guy who's really passionate about his culture and also plays beautifully. It's held in a small room in the clock tower of the gate into the old city of Faro (you access it through a flight of stairs inside the tourism office). I couldn't think of a better introduction to the subject.
I was lucky to see Joao all to myself on a quiet day in Faro over New Year. A very interesting talk about the story of Fado in this beautiful church location. He is passionate about the national instrument of Portugal and played a variety of tunes wonderfully. Very informative and I have since been listening to more Fado. Recommended! Best
My wife and had the pleasure of attending when we were in Faro last year and still can't stop talking about it. If you have a chance to go, go! You will be amazed.
I really enjoyed this short introduction to Fado. The lecture takes place up in the bell tower of the Old City (next to tourism centre). The instructor is very enthusiastic about this part of Portuguese culture, and is very open to answer all your questions. He also plays beautifully.
