Fado was born in the bustling side-streets and alleys of old
Lisbon in the early nineteenth century, and today the tradition
is very much alive and kicking in the city. In steamy bars, where
the music is always on offer and the drama is frequently highpitched, strong-voiced singers and skilled guitarists tell their
tales of woe and longing. Enjoy a handpicked selection of some
of the finest Fado musicians, both old and new, on this engaging
Rough Guide.
