Fado
Fado (destiny, fate) is a portuguese musical style that can be traced to the 1820s in Lisbon, Portugal, but probably has much earlier origins. In popular belief, Fado is a form of music characterized by mournful tune and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor, and infused with a sentiment of resignation, fatefulness and melancholia. This is loosely captured by the portuguese word saudade, or “longing”, symbolizing a feeling of a loss (a permanent, irreparable loss and its consequent lifelong damage).
In 27 November 2011, Fado was added in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
