In this exhibition, the Lisbon Museum approaches a theme rarely explored: the techniques, materials, forms, compositions and colors that have covered the ground that we tread, from prehistory to the beginning of the 20th century.

The paving solutions of the city have been changing over time.

When studying the pavements of Lisbon, we realize that they are both cause and effect of urban evolution.

The Portuguese Calçada has become an art, for the richness of the worked patterns.

When an alien listens attentively to Fado, even though he does not perceive the story told in the letter, he feels the emotions.

When a stranger feels the urge to know how emotions are sung, he tries to learn how to interpret.

Added to this is the case of people of other nationalities who fall in love with Fado and choose to live in Lisbon to learn how to interpret it in earnest.

Some examples: Masako Asai (Japan), Renata Pawelec (Poland) and Maja Milinkovic.

The Monthly Artistic Residencies are taking place in Café Luso. This is the 5th edition of an initiative that, in the result of a selection, has given the opportunity to many to show and work their talent in the voice or other instrument of Fado (guitar and Portuguese guitar).

In 2017, there were about 50 candidates, 30 were admitted. Every week, Mondays and Tuesdays the RAM artists are introduced.

Tomorrow, RTP will accompany one of the sensation tours in Lisbon, organized by Lisboa Antiga Tours, which ends with the Fado session Inside the Box.

Every day, between 5.00 pm and 6.00 pm, Live Fado, Wine and Portuguese Snacks inside the Adega Machado, a fado house that in 2017 celebrates 80 years.

Thursday, April 13, we went to SIC’s popular TV show, “Juntos à Tarde”, hosted by Rita Ferro Rodrigues and João Baião.

We talked about Bairro Alto, a neighborhood that was created 500 years ago, initially frequented by sailors, who later welcomed noblemen who built palaces here. In the nineteenth century, the early newspapers, later the artists began to settle. Today is the main stage of the nightlife and one of the business cards of the city of Lisbon.

They chose Adega Machado, which is 80 years old this year, and an establishment opened nine months ago, Pop Cereal, located on the same street.

These two establishments are examples of how the Bairro Alto became cosmopolitan and sought after, because it is found in the Tradition, in evolution, and modern and bold business concepts.
