Fado Festival of Canarias

The Festival de Fado de Canarias connects the Canary Islands with Fado, an artistic expression considered an Intangible Cultural Heritage that unites music and poetry. Originating in Lisbon in the 19th century, Fado is a multicultural synthesis combining Afro-Brazilian influences, traditional Portuguese genres, and urban trends of the time. This festival highlights the close bond between the Canary Islands and Portugal, emphasizing the deep Portuguese heritage present in the islands, which is evident not only in the inherited vocabulary but also in a shared culture that remains closely connected in many aspects.
