Heerenhuyskamerconcert - Casa de Fado

Since the 19th century, fado has been a powerful expression of Portuguese identity, in which you can hear the joy and sorrow of its people. The collective Casa de Fado continues this legacy and passionately shares its deep emotional bond with the audience in the Netherlands and beyond.

Fado is a form of expression that was born in the poor streets of Lisbon, and the subjects that are sung about are therefore about everyday life. There are many sad fados, because it is predictable from a society that has a hard time in that daily existence, but there are also happy fados as you will hear. Although it is a reflection of the Portuguese people, everyone - despite the language barrier - will get the feeling through the interpretation and expression of these musicians.
