“Mario led with passion! His warmth and love for Portuguese culture - specifically fado - was infectious. The guy who played the Portuguese guitar and the female singer were also incredible! I learned so much and I’m so glad I went. As a non-native Portuguese person, I’m so intrigued to learn more about fado and hear more of it. Portugal is truly blessed with fado and all who partake in it!”
