even for those who don't like Fado.
Old fashioned Fado nights, where we recreate the atmosphere of the traditional Fado houses. We serve snacks, caldo verde (green broth) and the good mood of Fadistas and guitarists from our Region and other guests.
An agenda of varied shows and cultural events organized on Fridays and Saturdays, at the Pinguinhas' Noble Room.
We organize events for tour groups, birthday parties, and company events. Choose a menu of snacks and pinguinhas prepares a show for your special date.
Don't be quiet, sing the fado
That's how fado was, gentlemen
The wine from the barrel running
So poorly bred and old-fashioned
It's that fado was fado for real
The fado lost its race, its gracefulness
It ceased to be disorderly and a companion of the ramboiada.
These fado singers of today bring the fado turned around
In retreats and salons they sing songs instead of fado.
Today the fado is for foreigners,
For bankers and for doctors
Fado singers are already artists, not fadistas they're already singers
It's sung in nightclubs and so is the finery
Fado has changed its course and is now compulsory consumption.
- Fernando Farinha/Mário José Lopes -

Fado in Viseu has history, has a present and certainly will have a prosperous future among the young people. Pinguinhas is part of this history and over the last few years it has been a stopping point for the most important names in Fado from the region and the country. Along this path we have recorded photographs and videos that we are recovering and preserving.
