Fado Singer Camane in Lima, 19 November 2026

PERU · MUSIC · LIMA

Camané, the Portuguese singer whom the festival’s own biography calls “the voice” of fado, performs in Lima on Thursday 19 November 2026 at the Teatro Manuel A. Segura. The concert is the evening highlight of the Festival Fado Lima and starts at 8 p.m. Lima time, which is 8 p.m. EST because Peru keeps the same clock all year and US clocks go back on Sunday 1 November.

Tickets are on sale at Teleticket, the seller the festival links to, at S/25 to S/120 (US$7.27 to US$34.88) from 1 November, after a presale that ends on Friday 30 October. The festival’s program adds an exhibition, a film and a talk on the same afternoon at a second venue, the Sala Alcedo.

A Fado Festival Comes to Lima

The Festival Fado Lima is the Lima edition of an international fado festival that, according to the description on the seller’s page, began in Madrid in 2011 and is now in its 16th edition. The same text says the festival has appeared in 21 cities in 15 countries on four continents.

This year’s theme is “El fado y los barrios”, or fado and the neighborhoods of Lisbon, and the whole program is built around it. The festival’s website lists Everything Is New as co-producer, while the seller names MACBA Comunicaciones SAC as the event’s organizer.

Fado was inscribed in 2011 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity kept by UNESCO, the United Nations cultural agency, which is the same year the festival began. UNESCO describes it as a performance genre incorporating music and poetry that is widely practiced by communities in Lisbon.

UNESCO says fado is usually performed by a solo singer, traditionally accompanied by a wire-strung acoustic guitar and the Portuguese guitarra, a pear-shaped cittern with twelve wire strings. It adds that fado is performed professionally on the concert circuit and in small fado houses, and by amateurs in neighborhood associations in the older parts of Lisbon.

Who Is Camané

The festival’s biography says Camané first met fado almost by chance, listening to his parents’ record collection while recovering from a childhood illness, and won Lisbon’s Grande Noite do Fado at age 13. It dates his first album, Uma Noite de Fados, to 1995 and says a partnership with the producer and composer José Mário Branco lasted until Branco’s death.

The biography lists albums from Na Linha da Vida in 1998 to Horas Vazias in 2021, which it calls his latest album of original songs. It says he will present his new work in Lima, but neither the festival nor the seller names the new album or any of the songs.

Among his honors the festival lists the Amália Rodrigues award in the best fado performer category, the Premio Tenco and the Premio Europa David Mourão Ferreira, plus several Latin Grammy nominations. It says he has performed in countries including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Peru.

The Full Evening Program

The festival’s program for Thursday 19 November starts at 4 p.m. with an exhibition called “El Fado y los Bairros”, curated with the Fado Museum, at the Sala Alcedo. At 5 p.m. the same venue shows the 75-minute film “Do Bairro” by Diogo Varela Silva.

At 6:30 p.m. Ângelo Freire gives a 50-minute talk titled “La Calle y el Fado”, or The Street and Fado, at the Sala Alcedo. Camané’s 80-minute concert follows at 8 p.m. at the Teatro Segura, which puts the end of the show at about 9:20 in the evening if it starts on time.

The seller’s page gives an approximate duration of four hours for the event and says it may begin at eight in the evening. The festival and the seller do not say whether the exhibition, film and talk are free or need a ticket, and the seller’s price table lists only theater seats and an add-on.

Tickets and Prices

Teleticket lists eight sectors at the Teatro Segura, from the stalls, called Platea, and the lower boxes to galleries on the second and third floors, where the upper tier is known as the Cazuela. The seller states that its prices include its service fee, so the figure shown is the total for the ticket.

From 1 November until 19 November, or until the seats run out, the regular prices are S/100 (US$29.07) for the Platea, S/120 (US$34.88) for the lower boxes, S/60 (US$17.44) for the central gallery and S/35 (US$10.17) for the lateral gallery. All three Cazuela sectors cost S/25 (US$7.27), and the wheelchair stalls cost S/70 (US$20.35).

The presale, which runs from 14 August until 30 October or until stock runs out, is cheaper at S/70 (US$20.35) for the Platea, S/84 (US$24.42) for the lower boxes and S/17.50 (US$5.09) for the Cazuela. A buyer who acts by Friday 30 October therefore saves up to S/36 (US$10.47) per seat compared with the regular price.

Peru’s national disability council, known as CONADIS, has its own price of S/80 (US$23.26) for the Platea and S/96 (US$27.91) for the lower boxes, valid for one ticket per accredited person who shows the CONADIS card at the door. The seller limits purchases to 10 tickets per customer and says e-tickets can be downloaded from two days before the event.

Getting to the Theater and Staying Safe

The Teatro Manuel A. Segura stands on Jirón Huancavelica in the Cercado de Lima district, and the front of the building carries the inscription “Teatro Principal Manuel A. Segura”. The seller says guests are searched at the door and that food, drinks, lighters, sharp objects, glass or metal items, aerosols, laser pointers, drones, selfie sticks and professional cameras are not allowed.

The seller recommends the concert for anyone over 14, and children from 12 may enter with a responsible adult, with both paying for a seat in the same sector. Entry after the time printed on the ticket is subject to the organizer’s rules.

The US State Department rates Peru at Level 2, exercise increased caution, in an advisory dated 4 September 2026 that cites crime, unrest, kidnapping and terrorism. It says petty theft, muggings and other violent crime often happen even in daylight hours and that the risk of crime increases at night.

The department’s Peru country page advises travelers to use app-based taxis, phone-ordered taxis or hotel-affiliated services rather than hailing a taxi on the street. It also says robberies have occurred on routes to and from Lima’s airport, so keeping bags out of sight in the car is the safer habit.

Visas, Time Zone and Money for US Visitors

US citizens need no visa for tourist stays of less than 90 days, according to the State Department’s Peru country page, which also says the passport must have six months of validity at entry and one blank page for the entry stamp. Border officials set the length of stay at arrival, so visitors should check the stamp before they leave the airport.

Lima is five hours behind Greenwich time all year, so the 8 p.m. start is 8 p.m. in New York once US clocks go back on Sunday 1 November. Peru has no seasonal clock change, so the gap with the US East Coast changes only when US clocks move again in March.

Dollar figures in this guide use the US Treasury’s reporting rate of S/3.44 per US$1 for 30 September 2026, the latest official rate the Treasury lists for the sol, so card charges at checkout can differ slightly. The seller’s page does not list its accepted payment methods or say whether foreign cards work, so a US buyer should test the checkout well before 19 November.

What It Means for You

For a US visitor already planning a trip to Lima, the concert is a dated, low-cost cultural evening, with seats from US$7.27 to US$34.88 at the regular price and a presale price that ends on 30 October. The seller says it is not responsible for tickets bought outside its official channels, so Teleticket, the seller the festival links to, is the safe place to buy.

The afternoon exhibition, film and talk make the day a short introduction to fado for readers who do not know the genre. Budget travelers can plan the rest of a stay with a guide to the cost of living in Peru, and long-stay readers can compare neighborhoods in a guide to the best places to live in Peru for expats.

After the concert, a taxi ordered by phone or app is the option the State Department recommends over hailing one on the street. More coverage of the country is on the Peru news page.

What Is Not Known

Neither the festival nor the seller publishes a setlist, the name of Camané’s new album or the musicians who will accompany him. The theater’s capacity and the number of seats still available are also not published.

The festival does not say whether the exhibition, film and talk at the Sala Alcedo are free or need a ticket. The seller also lists a meet-and-greet add-on, but its description, a book signed by the artist, appears to belong to another event, so this guide does not treat it as part of the Camané offer.

The seller’s page gives the duration as four hours, while the festival lists an 80-minute concert, so the end time is an estimate. The seller lists no sales period for 31 October, between the end of the presale on 30 October and the start of regular sales on 1 November.
