Persecuted, praised, detested, loved… Fado has come a long way to become the song of Lisbon and a World Heritage.

​

This is its history, from the city's poorest alleys to the world's greatest stages. A history made of struggle and commitment, of overcoming adversity and obstacles. A history made of simple people and noble names that enrich us greatly. A surprising history that takes us through the streets, alleys, and halls where Fado was born and triumphed.
