Clube Lisboa Amigos do Fado

Live musicLocals' pick

A fado club and school at the back of an ordinary Chelas apartment block, where Sara Correia and Marco Oliveira learned to sing. On Sunday afternoons the singers are the people at the tables: you sign up with the master of ceremonies, Senhor Augusto, two professional musicians accompany you on Portuguese guitar and viola, and a knowing room listens in total silence.
