This Thursday, The Geography of Sound travels to Portugal for an exploration of Fado—the country’s most iconic musical expression. Rooted in Lisbon’s historic neighborhoods, Fado carries the feeling of saudade: a deep sense of longing, memory, and emotional reflection. With its distinctive blend of voice and Portuguese guitar, Fado tells stories of love, loss, resilience, and everyday life, connecting generations through its timeless sound. Join host Federico Pacheco for an hour of carefully selected recordings that honor both the tradition and its contemporary voices. Thursday, April 23rd, 2026 12:00 PM (CT)
