  7. 2.Fado • ETYMOLOGY The word Fado comes from the latin word fatum, from which the English word fate also originate.The word is linked to the music genre itself and, although both meanings are the same in the two languages, Portuguese speakers seldom utilize the word fado referring to destiny or fate.

  8. History • Fado is one of the most popular music in Portugal, but Fado has its roots in Brasil. Recent histories detail the evolution of fado, first as dance form in Brazil, then later as a sung form in Lisbon. In its earliest appearances in Brazil at the end of the 18th century. Fado emerged as a fusion of older dances such as the African-derived fofa and lundu and the Iberian fandango. The lundu, a dance so similar to fado as to be interchangeable in the accounts of foreign travelers. Video

  9. Manuel Antonio de Almeida’s researches • In a novel by nineteenth century Brazilian writer Manuel António de • Almeida based on the 1817 reports of a military sergeant, for example, fado is • described as having “diverse forms, each one more original than the next” (1941, • 52). Almeida describes several different types of danced fado performed in early • nineteenth century Rio de Janeiro; one where a single performer dances alone, • executing difficult steps and lofty poses; and another where a pair of dancers play a • seductive game of approach and retreat. And across the ocean in early nineteenth • century Lisbon, fado’s diverse array of expressions not only replicated the • song/dance vocabularies developed in Brazil, but also initiated a new local • offshoot called “fado batido,” spawned within Lisbon’s community of • transplanted Africans
