A type of soulful Portuguese folk music that is often sad and expresses deep emotion or longing.
From Portuguese 'fado,' possibly from Latin 'fatum' meaning fate or destiny. The musical style developed in Lisbon in the early 19th century among the working class.
Fado literally means 'fate' in Portuguese—the music is so connected to sadness and destiny that UNESCO declared it a 'Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity' in 2005!
