An intimate 1-hour fado concert in Miragaia, Porto with a glass of port included. Cozy venue, improvisation, and moving singers.
“We were in awe. It was such an incredible experience. There were two groups, one was the “opening” group and the other seemed to be the main one as they lasted longer. I did not feel the hour pass by. It was brilliant and they sang with so much emotion. The location was also really great. I’d only recommend people to come early to secure their seats because otherwise you can get back seats and not see too well. But regardless that didn’t impact it much.”
