73Young fado singers from Portugal
Fado in Nowadays Click edit above to add content to this empty capsule. Nowadays Portuguese younger generation respects fado but is not dedicated to it. Contemporary fado artists like Misia have introduced the music to performers such as Sting. Misia and fadistas like Cristina Branco and Mariza walk the fine line between carrying on the tradition and trying to bring in a new audience.

76Amalia Rodrigues and Cristina Branco Sing Fado
If you've never heard fado your're in for a treat when you tune in to this video of Portugal's greatest fado singer, the late Amalia Rodrigues. I've also included a video of contemporary singer beautiful Cristina Branco. Fado is similar to Spanish flamenco or cante jondo, and it's content is in some ways akin to American blues and country music--lost lovers and other sad themes. Fado is a staple of Lisbon nightlife. Well worth a try after you've seen the Gulbenkian Museum in the afternoon.
