“This experience was a great introduction to Fado music. Since we didn't know if we would like this music and it was our first time listening to it, we wanted to find an experience that would be just enough for us to know a little bit more. The venue was very atmospheric and you get to hear a number of Fado songs as well as some historical things about it. I highly recommend it if you do not want to dedicate a whole afternoon for this, but still want to experience Fado music.”
