    Default What are your favourite Fado songs?

    I am enamoured by this gem of Mafalda Arnauth. Is there any particular Fado song that is particularly iconic?

    As Portuguese I can tell you that I'm mostly (not completely) indifferent to it. Fado has its origins in the bohemian life of Lisbon in the 19th century, where still is the most traditional place for Fado today and in Coimbra among the University students. I'm northern, I don't know if it was because of that or not, but reality is where I grew up Fado was the music for old people in taverns. So it wasn't a genre I've listened regularly and developed a taste for it. Regardless of that I like this one from Mariza "Gente da minha terra"



    By the way the most notable fado singer was the late Amália Rodrigues, considered the queen of Fado.

    Not just a song but the entire discography of Amália Rodrigues is iconic. Amália is to fado what Elvis Presley is to rock.


    Even nowadays a lot of Fado standards and repertoire being played by other singers is basically covers of her songs.




    A few other artists, from classic to a more modernized version of fado.

    Is not properly a real Portuguese Fado but this is the first song in which I think when you say Fado:



    And with Amalia Rodrigues:



    And a version in Portuguese by Maria do Ceo.

    I absolutely love this song. There is also a bit of childhood memories involved in this case.



    And as a good Coninbricense, I like our own subgenre.





    Otherwise I'm not a huge aficionado of the genre.
