Uma Hora de Fado

In the organizer's words:

Tony Riga and Matthias Baumgardt with beautiful Portuguese fados that touch the heart!

Flowmarkt on Sundays at the Sommerwerft and then there is also fado in the Bedouin tent. Another great concert with Free admission

Overall, Tony Riga contributes to the enrichment of the fado music scene in Germany and combines cultural elements with his knowledge of the Portuguese music tradition.

Tony Riga's great love for fado, the often melancholy music from Portugal, began a few years ago. During his performances, he explains the background of the songs to the audience, translates the lyrics and discusses their meaning, which adds a deeper dimension to his concerts. He interprets fado songs with great emotional depth and flexibility in his voice.
Tony Riga can regularly be seen at events such as "Uma noite de Fado", together with the excellent Frankfurt blues guitarist Matthias Baumgardt. These events offer a unique opportunity to get to know and experience the soulful music of fado, which often deals with themes of fate and longing
