Fado is a music genre which can be traced from the 1820s in Portugal, but probably with much earlier origins. It is characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor. Fado has a very distinct style and generally utilizes a solo female voice on top of a Portuguese Guitar. Mariza is one of my favourite modern Fado singers.
