Fado is very roughly a sort of Portugese equivalent of Flamenco. It shares some of the emotional depth, the song of tradegy and fate, but is very different in origin, and from a musical perspective.
A most famous fadista was Amelia Rodgrigues, whose passionate and heartbreaking voice can be heard here.
