On the occasion of the celebrations of the centenary of fado singer Maria Teresa Noronha (1917-1994), wife of José António Sabrosa, an eminent guitarist and composer, a CD with unpublished themes will be released in September.

The compositions were still recorded by the recently disappeared guitarist, José Pracana.

In addition to the unpublished, other songs were also recorded by Luís Petisca, on the Portuguese guitar, and Armando Figueiredo, on the viola and viola bass.

Every year there is a numerous pilgrimage to Portugal. Pilgrimage of the many who sought opportunities out there.

To loosen up the homesickness (saudade) of their land, they come on vacation to meet our people, our scents, flavors and sonorities.

Many come from France, one of the top destinations.

Fado & Food Group launched a campaign together with Radio Alfa (France) to summon those who choose Lisbon to find all this in the historic fado houses: Timpanas, Café Luso and Adega Machado.

It is due to a figure of the Portuguese guitar, to someone who has made a lot of listening and praising the Portuguese guitar.

The Festival of Portuguese Guitar all owes to the promoter, Professor Edgar Nogueira, who for 20 years was part of the cast of the Café Luso fado house.

In this 3rd edition that will be held on August 14 and 15, in addition to Edgar Nogueira, will play the guitarists António Chainho and Ricardo Parreira.
