Like Flamenco in Madrid and Tango in Buenos Aires, in Lisbon it is Fado, a melancholic style of singing which has become a part of national identity. Generally, a Fado ensemble comprise of one or two vocalists joined by guitar, violin and mandolin players. Their recitals can be heard on Lisbon streets and parks; but, for an authentic version it is best to go to any fado house located in the Bairro Alto and Alfama areas. People who are interested to know more about the evolution of this iconic Portuguese culture may visit the Fado Museum, which displays an exceptional body of collections ranging from various documents, images, and costumes to instruments and other related memorabilia.
