According to “our reporter” Pedro Pinhal (viola fado), among the figures in the famous Carnival of Torres Vedras, Mrs. D. “Amaliafona” is there.

And why “Amaliafona”?

Because one of the high points (giants?) Of this annual revel is the parade of “marafonas” of all type.

Any and all figures of society, whether alive or not, suits for parody.

Inspired by a probable love story in ancient Rome at the time of the Emperor Claudius II, it is on this date (from the Roman calendar), 14^th of February, that love unions are glorified.

Fado houses also have an aura conducive to the romantic mood, so we have prepared a special menu and a few surprises. Here is our promise:

LET’S PUT THE HEART IN THE MOUTH

One of the greatest artists of Portuguese popular music has been returning to this fado house, the Adega Machado, where he worked decades ago as an accordionist when regional dances were performed here.

Born in Vila Praia de Âncora, his musical roots are based on the Minho (region) folklore.

He is acclaimed by many as the King of Music “Pimba”, a specialist in double-entender letters, being therefore much sought after in Portuguese communities around the world and here, besides the summer festivals, is also high on the academic festivities.

The refrain of some of its successes is known by all, lovers or not: “Garagem da Vizinha” (2000), “A Cabritinha” (2004), “Bacalhau à Portuguesa” (1986).

Being India, by itself, an exotic and enchanting setting, the sonorities of Fado have been able to add magic in these past two days.

The fado singer Pedro Moutinho, accompanied by the Portuguese Guitar by André Dias, Tiago Siva, guitar, Daniel Pinto, bass guitar, performed at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Goa.

There followed a concert in Bombay. In previous editions of Monte Music Festival there were other fado names, including Marco Rodrigues.

Love and Passion are already in the air!

Between 11 and 18 February we will put the heart in the mouth of the Portuguese in love.
