Coimbra Fado
Why Coimbra Fado is different
Coimbra Fado is different from Lisbon Fado. It is deeply connected to the University of Coimbra, to students, poetry, night serenades and the black academic cape.
Traditionally sung by male voices and accompanied by the Coimbra guitar, it has a more solemn, romantic and ceremonial atmosphere. At Coimbra Serenade, visitors discover this unique tradition in a clear, intimate and accessible way.
