One of Portugals most beloved music stars, Amalia Rodrigues held the heart of a nation for more than 50 years, singing in the style of one of her countrys most enduring folk music traditions, fado. From the Portuguese word for fate, fado expresses the Portuguese concept of saudade. Not directly translatable into English, the term describes a deep yearning for the dead past, failed loves, and happier days. Known to legions of her fans as the Queen of Fado, Rodrigues herself was, by her own estimation, ideally qualified to bring fado to mournful life. I have so much sadness in me, she was quoted in the Financial Times of London. I am a pessimist, a nihilist. Everything that fado demands in a singer I have in me. Also known to her fans simply as Amália, Rodrigues died on October 6, The BBC News reported at the time that Portugals prime minister, Antonio Guterres, said that his country had lost the voice of the Portuguese soul.

O fado, uma das expressões culturais mais emblemáticas de Portugal, é um gênero musical que evoca sentimentos de saudade, melancolia e amor.

Entre as figuras mais influentes desse gênero estão Amália Rodrigues e Mariza, que, através de suas vozes e interpretações, ajudaram a moldar e perpetuar a tradição do fado. Este artigo explora a trajetória do fado, desde Amália Rodrigues até Mariza, destacando o legado duradouro que ambas as artistas deixaram na música portuguesa e na cultura global.

Caracterizado por sua melodia simples, geralmente acompanhada por guitarra portuguesa e viola, o fado é permeado por letras que falam sobre amor, perda e a inevitabilidade da vida. As primeiras canções de fado eram performances informais em tavernas e nas ruas, mas rapidamente ganharam popularidade e começaram a ser apresentadas em salões e teatros. Essa transição ajudou
