Fado (Portuguese: destiny, fate)
Is a music genre which can be traced from the 1820s in Portugal, but probably with much earlier origins. In popular belief, fado is a form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor. However, in reality fado is simply a form of song which can be about anything, but must follow a certain structure.The music is usually linked to the Portuguese word saudade which means to miss or to long for someone or something.
