Madonna loved Lisbon’s secret music spots so much she moved there. Here’s our guide to them RSBestMusicScenes
visited Lisbon, she made sure to swing through the old-schooldistrict to catch some fado — the impassioned acoustic ballads known as the Lisbon version of the blues. She wound up living there for three years, and the fado-inspired “Crave” popped up on heralbum. “In Alfama, you’ll hear people singing and playing fado music everywhere,” she said, calling the sound “glorious and inspiring.”
If you follow her to Alfama, the trick is avoiding the touristy spots. “If everything is directed at you, like, ‘Come in,’ it’s not an interesting fado house,” says new-generation fado singer Carminho. “But if you go to a fado house and don’t understand everything, you are in a good one.” At the intimate, homey, be prepared to stand wherever you find space and even grab one of its available instruments to play along.
