The most important fado singer is Amalia Rodriguez. She is considered the fado queen, a figure similar to the one of Billie Holliday in jazz. If you want something more contemporary you can try Misia. Simon Calle

Yes, Amalia is the queen. Of the modern fadistas, I like Dulce Pontes fairly well (though she's sometimes overproduced and overdramatic). Kelley On Nov 21, 2003, at 1:03 PM, <simoncalle@tutopia.com> wrote:
