Transport yourself to the historic streets of Lisbon without leaving the city. Fado singer Jennifer Bettencourt is bringing the evocative, soulful sounds of Portugal to Reid's Distillery for an intimate afternoon performance.
The Music
Fado is a genre of Portuguese music known for its expressive, melancholic beauty—often centered on the concept of 'saudade,' a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing. Bettencourt, a Luso-Canadian artist, is dedicated to keeping this tradition alive while adding a modern touch. She'll be joined by guitarists Hernani Raposo and Valdemar Mejdoubi, plus a special surprise guest.
The Venue
Reid's Distillery on Logan Avenue provides a unique, relaxed backdrop for this performance. It’s a great way to spend a Sunday—sipping on a craft cocktail in a beautiful space while being treated to world-class music. Whether you're a fan of Fado or just looking for something different and culturally rich, this is a fantastic event to add to your calendar.
