She was very beautiful in her younger days indeed.

Fado is considered a national musical style (more specific of the Lisbon region, with an important Coimbra variation) and an important expression to define the "Portuguese soul". The origins and full influnces of the Fado are still uncertain.

I'll post a few videos for you to get familiar with the genre (altough there's many different Fado styles).

West-Med + Indid (or something like this). Maybe.

On that pic she was tanned, she's naturally more light skinned.
I honestly don't see Indid. Just Med + CM (Berid), producing a robust Med look.

Because you asked in PM I think she gives me a specifically "iberian" vibe which balkans gypsies lack. She looks "gitana" more then "balkan gypsy"

Thanks Mortimer, that was my impression also but needed your opinion to confirm it.
