The “Guitarra Portuguesa” (Portuguese guitar) is famous for its
distinctive and evocative sound, holding a special place in the
Portuguese people’s hearts. Its origins date back to the early 19th
century, carrying a rich cultural heritage and national identity.
This instrument has found its true home in “Fado”, the classical
Portuguese music genre, well-known for its mournful melodies
that capture the essence of life’s biggest questions and
challenges.
