FADO: the sad and melancholic song of the FADO is the soul of Portugal and livelier than ever. A new generation of artists unites under the sounds of the once mythical music direction. The basic element of this type of music is saudade “, a Portuguese term that describes the longing. It is a sad music direction, over the fate (fado comes from the Latin fas, fatum and is considered a synonym of destiny “”), sings the death, infidelity, the despair and the melancholy.

A good fado singer, fadista, stands out with his facial expressions and gestures to a high extent. The hands move elegantly from one side to the other, but is the body like a rock in the surf. This music enjoyed their golden age at the beginning of the 20th century, while the singer of fado forced the Portuguese dictatorship under Salazar to pursue music professionally and they imprisoned in the so-called FADO houses (taverns where only the direction of this music was heard). Nowadays, the FADO by official institutions is protected and cultivated as a tourist spectacle. Amalia Rodrigues was the Queen of fado and the idol is considered in Portugal.
