Sail and feel Lisbon’s Soul
This experience on the Tagus River combines the iconic Fado and an unique boat tour in Lisbon.
You will listen to Portugal’s most renowned Fado songs on a private and exclusive performance. Even for those who do not understand the lyrics, the emotions conveyed by the music are palpable. Embarking on a catamaran tour on Tagus River is breathtaking for anyone who wants to explore the portuguese capital.
A symbol of identity, Fado music is widely sung in Lisbon. It is typically performed by a solo male or female singer, accompanied by an acoustic guitar and the Portuguese guitarra, a pear-shaped twelve-stringed lute. It is performed professionally and informally in grass-root associations and often transmitted over successive generations within the same families.
Fado became one of Portugal’s greatest symbols through the voice of Amália Rodrigues, who played a crucial role in internationalizing and establishing it as an art form. Fado was formerly classified as a Unesco Imaterial Heritage in 2011. Since then, notable names in this genre have emerged, such as Camané, Mariza, Gisela João, and Raquel Tavares, among others.
