Fado is the most representative traditional music in Portugal.

Considered the “King of Fado” in Portugal, Camané has performed concerts in the main cities of Portugal, Europe, America and Asia. Yao Shenshen is the permanent conductor of the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra and deputy secretary-general of the Conducting Committee of the Chinese National Orchestra Society. He presented many important masterpieces to the public and won many national and municipal awards.
