[edit] Modinha
Fado coming from modinha. Isn't it more probable the other way round? --BBird 22:20, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Fado: The Kokiri sage from the video game The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker. He prayed in the Wind Temple until Ganondorf stole his soul to rob the Master Sword of its power. His ghost came back to teach Link the Wind God's Aria. He plays the violin and is reputed to be a very saucy character.
[edit] Move?
Shouldn't this article be at Fado. There is no article there, it just redirects here. I would move it myself if I was able to delete the redirect: I don't want to lose the history. — Trilobite (Talk) 02:16, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Trilobite, yeah. Do it. Tanks. Eurolusitanian 12:12, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- Ah but I can't. That's why I brought it up here instead of just going ahead with the move. It needs an admin to delte the redirect at Fado so that there's an empty place to move this article to. It's not an urgent problem though, as anyone who types in Fado will end up as this article. For consistency though it should be moved. — Trilobite (Talk) 16:41, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Just a little correction. I think that the music of Madredeus, excellent as it may be, can hardly qualify as "fado", being a mish-mash of many different genres. Fado is one, but not the only one, not even the most important genre. One should not think that a particular genre, just because it makes use of the Portuguese guitar and mentions the feeling of "saudade," is automatically "fado". Thank you.
[edit] Damn Fine Picture
Oh, that Débora Rodrigues is cute! Is she famous or just a regular singer?--24.15.4.45 05:32, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lisbon and Coimbra fado
Added fado de Lisboa and Coimbra (trans.), please note any corrections needed. Berimbau1 18:45, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
