Dinner Reception & Fado Music
"Fado Azul", Painting by Marcio Melo
We will then have dinner in the Alfama neighbourhood , at the exquisite restaurant "Bacalhau de Molho" (1, Beco dos Armazéns do Linho) in the company of excellent Fado singer Teresa Tapada,..a talented artist from a younger generation,-- committed to tradition as a living process of continuous excellence, emulation and invention........
Fado music is an authentic urban tradition, meaning originally "fate",... singing of the saudade, of nostalgy, love and particularly,...of a wonderfully cultivated, delicate and inspired love of the city, and of urban life, of popular traditions, of the streets, buildings, monuments and memories...
Famous Fado Singer Mariza in Concert
It also cultivates relentlessly its passionate attachment to Lisbon and its "barios"...It has proven to be very resistant to the erosion of time by addressing tradition without fear of the contemporary. Like in the American Blues , "modern" and "traditional" are not contradictory terms in the Fado culture, but rather two different, complementary levels of reality, of consciousness, of life and poetry, of truth, and of the complexity which living and vital human cultures share with nature..
