Santa Luzia: Fado in Santa Luzia

What a night we had at Casa do Polvo Tasquinha in Santa Luzia, Tavira on 30th May 2012.

The restaurant was celebrating it´s 2nd anniversary and to coincide with the last FADO

evening in this present series, a special evening of Fado was presented with all the recent

past performers being involved.

The restaurant was full to the brim with local Portuguese and imported residents together

with a mixture of tourists from Holland, Germany, France and Britain.

The Fayre was up to the usual wonderful standards that this establishment has set itself

and the service was exemplary .

The Main Course was served and the music began, with each performer singing a couple of wonderful Fado songs. The night lights were dimming as the streetlights flickered on the waters of the Ria Formosa. The atmosphere built as the assembled people enjoyed a night of special entertainers of a very unique Portuguese persuasion performing their art to perfection.

The music continued throughout the evening with the guests reluctant to go home and the performers eager to show this uniquely Portuguese folk singing style off.

A huge thanks to our hosts Nicole and Eduardo and to the staff for making this evening possible, and of course to the musicians who were magnificent.
