Description
Amalia Rodrigues (1920-1999), known as the Rainha do Fado (Queen of Fado), enjoyed a 50-year recording and stage career; Am�lia, who is considered one of the voices of the 20thcentury, remains to this day as the most international of Portuguese artists and singers, and in Portugal, a national icon.
Her cultural relevance is shown by the fact that she put fado on the world map as a form of chant and music; Am�lia said in a very poetic way: "Fado came from the sea, the vast sea in front of us. Fado came from the lament for our sailors who departed and never returned."

Dear Amalia and Paula, You both speak so fondly and in such awe of this lady, yet we have never heard of her. Please, when you can, tell us about her and why she was so admired. We know so little about the wonderful people of other countrys.
