Canzone Per Te
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.
Amália Rodrigues was a Portuguese singer and also actress. (1920 -1999)
She was known as the "Rainha do Fado" ("Queen of Fado") and was most influential in popularizing the Fado worldwide.
Rodrigues enjoyed an extensive international career between the 1950s and the 1970s.
Other well-known international fado artists such as Madredeus, Dulce Pontes and Mariza have come close, however.
Amalia is the best and I adore her so much.
Listen to her Canzone Per Te from 1970
