Is this a contradiction in terms? I would like to listen to a few moody songs but I’m not up for an evening of lamentation. Where would you recommend trying upbeat and happy Fado? I’m looking for a pretty place, don’t mind touristy that would change 10-15 for show and drink. Clubs in Bario Alto: Café Luso, O’Faia,

ummm.. That's not Fado. It's like saying where are the happy Blues singers in Mississippi.

Just listen to Fado. Translate it. Tune your ears to the song and hear the longing for a time a gone by.
