Step into the heart of Portuguese culture with fado, a deeply emotional urban folk music born in the streets and taverns of Lisbon in the 19th century. Often called “The Blues of Portugal,” fado is characterized by its mournful melodies and poetic lyrics, weaving stories of the sea, life’s struggles, and the nostalgia of bygone days.
Now is your chance to experience fado in its birthplace, the ancient city of Lisbon, performed by world-class artists Rodrigo Costa Felix and Francisco Moreira, alongside Ensemble Iberica’s Beau Bledsoe, Ezgi Karakus, Erin McGrane, and Jeff Freling (of Victor & Penny). Adding a fresh, captivating twist, guest artist George Carver infuses fado with unique American influences.
Trip is strictly limited to 27 people.
