What is Fado ?
Fado is a performance genre incorporating music and poetry widely practiced by various communities in Lisbon. Fado songs are usually performed by a solo singer, male or female, traditionally accompanied by a wire-strung acoustic guitar and the Portuguese ”guitarra” – a pear-shaped cittern with twelve wire strings, unique to Portugal, which also has an extensive solo repertoire.
