music originated in Portugal. The Fado musical artists are mournful and whimsical performers.
The best places to hear Fado are in local street bars or bodegas without the expensive dinners and shows.

You will be with artists who understand you. It speaks to the soul and resonates deeply.

Fado singers and musicians reflect the deep longing, passion, and suffering that is the history and heritage of the Portuguese.
Have you seen or heard these performers and musicians? Did it help in any way?

I am of Portuguese heritage; inside of the Portuguese we usually live a "saudade" which is hard to translate with one word. But the Fado is all about the "saudade" which is a longing for, usually something from the past, a deep emotion that is impossible to forget or wash away. It is a constant state that comes and goes. It is internal and eternal. the closest word is perhaps "longing" but it is more than that, it becomes a part of the person.
