Fado is a typical Portuguese music genre and is inscribed since 2011 in the Unesco Intgangible Cultural Heritage Lists.
Fado is a word that comes from the Latin word “fatum”, which meant fate, destiny and the music is characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, mostly about the sea, a hard life, a sentiment of resignation, melancholia and longing.

josy63 Tout le Fado est inscrit dans ses rides. Non seulement elle est émouvante mais elle est belle. Je ne peux que la garder avec moi. Merci Christa, merci beaucoup

CHOSSID Wonderful portrait!

Bzh29 Voilà un portrait bien émouvant .
Ici nous n'avons pas le Fado ...
Nous avons un genre "apparenté" , "Gwerz"
... Wikipédia ... ***In Breton music, the gwerz tells a story which can be epic, historical, or mythological. The stories are usually of a tragic nature. The gwerz is characterised by an often monotonous melody and many couplets, all in the Breton language. Though historically sung unaccompanied, some modern musicians use limited instrumentation with the gwerz.***
Si vous en avez le temps ... passez par ici ... pour 2 voix celtiques ...
Plus traditionnel si vous préférez

haizetxu Eu acho que a imagem representa bem o caráter do fado. Eu gosto de fados de Ana Moura.
