I managed to revisit the Fado Museum on last month's trip to Lisbon. I'm thinking of bringing the students there on next March's trip as well as get them in to see some local Fado, hopefully at some dive bar in the Bairro Alto. What better way for the students to get into the heart and soul of Portugal than to listen to some Fado? This painting, Jose Malhoa's 1910 painting, O Fado, is prominently, and rightly, featured at the museum.
I sent this picture to several friends, suggesting that it would be Janet and I after we moved to Portugal, wasted our money, and had to fall back on being professional Fado singers.
