On that sad 6th of Ocober



When Amalia Rodrigues died in 1999, the Portuguese prime minister declared three days of national mourning. During her life, Amália was the queen of the Fado and she not only become the iconic singer of the genre, but she broadened the scope of the music, and popularized the fado in Europe and South America.

Here is a Dvd Amalia Rodrigues: The Spirit of Fado (2006) documentary that examines the life of the remarkable singer, the history of the fado, and includes footage of Amália performing some of her timeless songs.

We all miss you.
