Don't know any details but it looks like that wall was painted quite a long time ago.
It could be a tribute to "Fado" the Portuguese traditional folk music popular in the Lisbon area, and the characters would be holding the Portuguese guitar used to play Fado.

From February 5th I'll take over the Monday Mural meme from Oakland Daily Photo, hope to see you here with your lovely murals.
cool mural
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam.
DeleteVery abandoned buildings. Are they banjos? Run for your life.
ReplyDeleteThey could be banjos or even the Portuguese guitar used to play Fado, I just called them guitars for lack of knowledge about musical instruments lol. Thanks Andrew.
DeleteUma homenagem ao fado.
ReplyDeleteMuito bonita, por sinal.
Boa semana
Sim, penso que podera ser Pedro. Obrigada e boa semana.
DeleteHow sad to see this mural in such a disparate place and in such disrepair. I thought it was great and looked like it had several different styles to which it could be attributed . I really enjoyed it, and think it's a great way to end your participation before you take over as host of this great event.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth, I was sad to see such a run down place, but there is a lot of construction going on, so maybe something new will pop up in that spot and the mural would be destroyed of course.
DeleteSuch a cheerful mural.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit Joe.
DeleteNice mural and not one I would expect in Portugal.
ReplyDeleteThanks S.C.
DeleteIt certainly brightens that sad place up, I can nearly hear some music! (That might also be because at the grocery store they played "Baby, I love your way", which is stuck in my head - I hate when that happens, LOL!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Iris. I like the new photo.
DeleteUm belo mural e tipicamente português.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

ReplyDeleteThanks Grace, yes next week the big day!
DeleteUm mural pintado há muito, assim parece. Gostei de ver. :)
ReplyDeleteSim Catarina, pelo aspecto deve ser antigo.
Delete...a great one, thanks for showing the wide shot. When does the link open next week?
ReplyDeleteHi Tom, I'm hoping to post it at 11am Monday (Perth, Australia time) which is equivalent to 7pm Sunday (Oakland,USA time).
Deleteas somebody said: it brightens the place up. it is really a cheerful mural.
ReplyDeleteThanks Klara.
DeleteIt's quite cartoon like and lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteGlad you showed the old buildings where it was painted.
Thanks Christine, it does look very cartoon like :)
DeleteI like it! Looking forward to joining you next week! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks RedPat see you next week.
DeleteVery impressive. I do love a good mural. Especially in areas where the art is sorely needed!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie, I think this sad space really needed a bright and fun mural.
DeleteInteresting mural and I like that it is painted on that old building. I will look for you next week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit Lois, glad you liked the mural.
DeleteYou're right- they do seem to spring up everywhere, Sami :) :) This is a nice one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne, I was amazed at the quantity of murals all over Portugal.
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteLove this as it just coincides with our Broadway song about playing a guitar!
Hugs,
Mariette
What a coincidence Mariette, thank you.
