TOP 10 LISBON EXPERIENCES:
9| Listen to the Melancholic Sounds of Fado
Thanks to a
new
generation of young artists gaining international recognition such as Mariza
(who won Best European Act of the BBC Awards for World Music in 2003),
Fado
has been revived.
The country's melancholic sound was born in Lisbon's old
quarters where there are several taverns and fine dining restaurants known
as "Fado Houses" with both amateur and professional performers.
Although
many of these places are packaged specifically for tourists, the most
authentic ones (found in Alfama) should be part of your Lisbon experience.
