The biggest characteristic of Portuguese music is fado music which means fate in Portuguese. It has its origins in the 15th century in Lisbon. It’s a lyrically harsh style of music with most of the songs bearing a sad theme and is influenced by Arabic music. It’s usually sung with a Portuguese guitar. Since the 20th century fado music has been getting international recognition especially the fado music of the city of Coimbra. Some popular fado artists are Amalia Rodrigues, Jose Afonso, Sergio Godinho, Luis Cilla, Brigada Victor Jada and many more.

Portuguese classical music despite having European roots also reflects on the intercontinental cultural interactions witnessed by Portugal primarily because of its geographical location. Some famous Portuguese composers are Pedro de Escobar, Manuel Cardoso, Duarte Lobo, Carlos Seixas, Marcos Portugal, Emmanuel Nunes etc.
