Fado ao Centro

Coimbra, Portugal Live music venue

Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Virtuoso guitarists and beautiful vocals, small venue with cozy nightclub feel. Program was educational and entertaining. I left feeling I knew a bit more about coimbra fado. A glass of port in the courtyard in the way out allowed people to linger and enjoy the night. A very pleasant Fado experience. I had a great time watching the fado show with it’s gentle and singing. They also give you the background of fado and you end up with a glass of port at the end. It is reasonably priced too. This was my second fado show and this one definitely leaned more into the dramatic. It was an interesting contrast to the show in Porto. Performers were all very talented and was a great performance. The Fado ao Centro is a school and a well-known house of the typical Fado from Coimbra. It invites visitors to witness the open rehearsals that happen daily at 4 p.m. The live concerts are every afternoon at 6 p.m. Reservations are recommended. The house also accepts appointments for performances for 8 or more people. If you're curious about what's in the region, take a look at the free audio guide at this link: https://izi.travel/en/c125-coimbra/en I hope you enjoy your time in Coimbra! A good show for €16! The crowd was mostly tourists, but they still made the introductions in both Portuguese and English which was nice. The perfect introduction to one of the most lovely traditions of Portugal. Fado ao Centro is a respectfully designed concert experience that creates a micro-space of culture, history and where you can totally feel, at least for a bit, how it was to be around in Coimbra on those "golden years" of Fado. Recommendable, and if you are into music, mandatory. I absolutely loved the passion, knowledge and technical skill of the performers. The setting is lovely, cozy and comfortable. All explanations were done in Portuguese and English. I highly recommend this experience I went with my family and a friend, mostly on a whim, a few weeks ago, and it was a magical experience. Four performers, 2 of whom were singers, whilst the other two were accompanists, one playing classical guitar and one playing a traditional Portuguese guitar. The was haunting and beautiful. Both the singers and instrumentalists were a pair of current University of Coimbra student and alumnus. The was haunting and beautiful, and the performers exceptionally talented. The performers also gave us a history of Fado, both as a Portuguese tradition and the style specific to Coimbra. After the performance was over, we had a glass of port with the musicians and chatted to them about the music, Coimbra, and Portugal in general. It was a wonderful evening and I cannot wait to be back.
