The singing art "Fado(in English: "Fate")" is a traditional and famous music style in Portugal. There's something special about "Fado": the texts are disastrous, tell stories of sad destiny and none-mutual love. The woman on the picture, Amália Rodrigues, is called "the Queen of Fado", she's also one of the most well-known Fado singers in Portugal. My Grandmother loves to sing Fado, and she does it often when we're in Portugal. I associate this music art with my beloved grandmother and all those who sing their life stories in this style. Fado, that's something real special to the Portuguese, believe me.
