TQ TRAVEL QUALITY SUPPORTS FADO IN CASCAIS 2019
Fado by the sea
Fado returns to Cascais for three memorable nights at the Montepio Fado Cascais Festival, an event supported by TQ – Travel Quality, a reference group in the business travel and event organization sector.
From September 20 to 22, Palmela Park will host this event for the third year running, featuring performances by top national and international artists. Raquel Tavares, Carminho and Marta Pereira da Costa are some of the big names on the music scene who will be performing during these three nights of great emotion, especially dedicated to Fado lovers.
Listed as Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2011, Fado is the soul of the Portuguese people. A pillar of national identity, this musical style, usually sung by a single fado singer and accompanied by a Portuguese guitar and viola, explores recurring themes such as love, the past, death, sadness and exile.
As well as celebrating this symbol of Portuguese culture, the Montepio Fado Cascais Festival invites visitors to enjoy Portuguese cuisine, one of the richest in the world, challenging the palate while enjoying wonderful performances on a second stage located in the restaurant area.
“We are proud to be associated with events that highlight the most typical and striking elements of Portuguese cultural heritage, such as Fado. This way, and for the third consecutive year, TQ – Travel Quality is supporting the 2019 edition of the Montepio Fado Cascais Festival, an event where you can enjoy an absolutely fabulous sea view to the sound of our traditional Fado, a privilege and an unmissable opportunity that will certainly be remembered.”, says Alexandra Henriques, Marketing Director of TQ – Travel Quality.
