Fado (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈfaðu] destiny fate) is a music genre which can be traced to the 1820s in Portugal but probably with much earlier origins. Fado historian and scholar Rui Vieira Nery states that the only reliable information on the history of Fado was orally transmitted and goes back to the 1820s and 1830s at best.
