House Of Fado
In stock at the following stores: Games København, Games Aarhus
In Portugal, some restaurants serve traditional Portuguese food alongside performances of fado , a genre of music that can be traced back to the 1820s in Lisbon, Portugal, and which is often characterized by mournful melodies and lyrics, often about the sea or the lives of the poor, while also being filled with a sense of resignation, fate, and melancholy.
People spend their entire evenings in these restaurants, called Casa de Fado ("House of Fado"), where they eat and listen to the music, which speaks of "saudade", a Portuguese word meaning "longing, nostalgia, longing, missing something or someone". Typically, there is no rotation of tables. Once you enter the restaurant, you stay until it closes.
In its traditional form, fado is played by a trio of musicians: a guitarist plays the "Guitarra Portuguesa" (a twelve-string Portuguese guitar); a singer, that is, a "fadista", and a guitarist plays the "Viola de Fado" (classical guitar). The Portuguese guitar has a unique sound, and the chords are played in different tempos than those on the classical guitar.
In the game House of Fado Players must manage their restaurant, attract customers, and hire and promote fadistas and musicians, thus gaining prestige for their fado house. Managers move their employees to different locations to perform specific actions using the same bump action as in The Gallerist .
