Fado (translated as destiny or fate) is a music genre which can be traced from the 1820s in Portugal, but probably with much earlier origins. In popular belief, Fado is a form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor. However, in reality Fado is simply a form of song which can be about anything, but must follow a certain structure. (Source: Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fado
Check out how Rui Lobo of Goa renders one such Fado.

Hi Rui, your music is truly soulful. If I am not mistaken, I have studied with you
in Dhempe College (way back in 76-77). Reminds me of those days when one could hear such lovely music in the rustic side street houses of our good old susegad panjim. I guess it is a different story now.
