Amateur Fado Evening
This Saturday night 23/5/2009 at 22.00 in the Santo Estêvão Community Centre there will be an amateur fado evening. I am not saying it will produce the next Amalia, but who knows. It could be an excellent taste of traditional Portuguese Culture. If anyone goes/went to this please let us know in the comments how it was?
Amalia Rodrigues was a famous Portuguese fadista born in 1920 and made this particular flavour of folk singing extremely popular worldwide. Movies, shows and TV series have been made about her. You can read more on Wikipedia.
