About this experience
Fado is destiny, it's the song of a people, it's the soul and identity of a country, it's longing, it's hope, it's sadness and love, it's life, and it's an embrace to the world.
It's impossible to talk about fado without talking about Amália Rodrigues, Amália is the name that elevates fado and the people to the entire world, she is the voice, the creativity, the art, the feeling, the poetry and the soul.
This visit is a tribute to Amália and her artistic heritage. The invitation is a familiar invitation on a guided tour to the S. Bento street, in a neighborhood of Lisbon where Amália lived for 44 years.
