  Fado at The Pines Presents: The Mariana Arroja Trio

  The Sausalito – Cascais Sister City Council is pleased to present a magical
  evening of Fado music featuring the talented, Marian Arroja Trio.

  Join us for an evening that blends tradition and innovation. Mariana Arroja, one of Portugal’s most versatile and acclaimed singers, will be joined by Pia Salvia on harp and Richard Miller on guitar. Together, they will transport you into the heart of Fado, with performances from Mariana’s debut album “O meu nome é ninguém” (“My name is no one”), which will be presented live for the first time in California! Mariana’s hauntingly beautiful voice, combined with Pia’s delicate harp and Richard’s masterful guitar, will make for an evening to remember.

  This will be the 9th fundraising event at The Pines in support of the Sausalito-Cascais Youth Sailing Exchange between sailors from Clube Naval de Cascais and the Sausalito Yacht Club. This event is not only a celebration of Portuguese culture, but a vital event that raises money to foster the friendship and collaboration between young sailors from both youth sailing clubs.
  

  Space is limited, so don’t miss this opportunity to experience an
  unforgettable night of Fado in the heart of Sausalito!
  
  

  Date: Saturday, May 17 · 6 - 9:30pm PDT

  "Fado is a form of urban folk music in Portugal dating back to the 1800’s that is now considered the national song of Portugal. Fado singers, or fadistas as they are called, are usually accompanied by guitarists; they sing passionately about love, joy, sadness, pain, and hope — a dramatic genre for a good show.
