Experience It! The Sounds of Fado Music When visiting Lisbon, spending a night at a "casa de Fado," or Fado restaurant, is an essential experience. Traditional Portuguese cuisine savory local wines and the magical sounds of Fado. The songs of the Fado are based on the feeling known simply as saudade. Though no precise word can properly translate saudade, it is often described as a combination of deep nostalgia, strong desire and melancholy feelings. Fado songs tell stories of happiness and sadness, of love and jealousy. Even musical experts cannot agree on the true origin of Fado. Although the word comes from the Latin fatum, meaning fate, some believe its drawn-out laments are a legacy of the Moorish occupation. Others say it developed from an African dance in Brazil, and according to another theory, the melancholy character of the music evolved from Portuguese seafarers who sang of home during their long absences at sea. It emerged as a Bohemian art form in Lisbon's working-class districts of Alfama and Mouraria in the late 18th century and gradually moved up-market. But it was Amália Rodrigues who, in the 20th century, made Fado known beyond Portugal as she performed all over the world. She's been credited with defining the style of the music and when she died in 1999, the government declared three days of national mourning and awarded her a state funeral. A national icon, she is buried in Lisbon's National Pantheon. For important reservation information visit https://gateway.gocollette.com/link/802794.
