Coimbra fado is a unique and powerful style of music and song. Unlike Lisbon fado, which is sung by mainly women, the voices of Coimbra fado are exclusively male and most belong to current or former students of Coimbra’s prestigious university. The university connection is reinforced by the singers and the accompanying guitarists wearing the traditional black capes that are synonymous with student life.“Fado ao Centro” can be translated as “fado in the centre” or “fado to the centre”. The group like to think of it as “fado to the core” – of their country, their city and themselves. Their love of fado is so strong that they want to share it with others, be they fellow musicians and academics, local fans who enjoy allowing themselves to be transported by the emotions aroused by their songs, or curious spectators who may never even have heard of Coimbra fado.
