Probably the most important expression of Portuguese folklore is the fado, a music genre that lies in sadness, despair and resignation.

The fado can be found in Portugal for the first time in the early 19th century, although experts say it probably came a lot earlier than that. With a guitar and a voice, fado brings to life stories of sadness and misery, although in modern times it doesn’t always adhere to these subjects, but any in general. The word fado comes from the Latin fatum, which means fate. There are two main types of fado: Lisbon fado and Coimbra fado, Coimbra being another city north of Lisbon, between the capital and the other main Portuguese city, Oporto. However today, we’re mainly going to talk about Lisbon fado.

Everyone who knows about fados will probably agree that the main representative of this music was Amália Rodrigues, a fado singer from the 40s up to her death who described the music as “something very mysterious that you have to feel, and you have to be born with the distressful side of people, feel like someone without ambitions, without wishes… a person… as if you didn’t exist”. Pessoa also had some words to describe fado, which was “the that the people of Portugal look at the God who they believed in with contempt, the God who had now abandoned them.
