- Music -
Fado (Portuguese for "fate") is a form of
melancholic music. The music is linked to the
Portuguese word saudade which means "yearning",
or strong and mixed feelings of nostalgia and
love. Fado's origins come from a mixture of
African rhythms with the traditional music of
Portuguese sailors, and it also was influenced
greatly by Arabic music. There are two varieties
of Fado Lisbon and Coimbra. The Lisbon style is
more traditional (for the people), while
Coimbra's style is more refined (linked with
university students) both are seen as ethnic
music for a sophisticated audience and as
candidates for UNESCO recognition. The notable
Amália Rodrigues introduced the best-known
variety of Fado. After her disappearance, a new
wave of performers added stylistic changes and
brought more international popularity to the
traditional Portuguese music. Performers Mariza
and Mísia brought a new sound to traditional Fado
songs, while Dulce Pontes mixed Fado with
Portuguese pop music. The band Madredeus
completely revolutionized the sound of Fado by
using new instruments -- in fact, all that they
kept from the original Fado were its appearance
and the concept of saudade and there is a
considerable influence of medieval music in their
style. ! Aus der Zeit des faschistischen Estado
Novo unter Salazar stammt eine Liedermachertraditi
on. Bekannteste Vertreter dieser Protestbewegung
sind José Afonso (häufig Zeca genannt) und Sérgio
Godinho. Von José Afonso stammt die
Interpretation des Liedes Grândola, Vila Morena,
welches das Startzeichen zur Nelkenrevolution
gab. !

- Literature -
Portugal is sometimes known as "a country of
poets". In fact, Portuguese poetry has a bigger
influence in the country's literature than prose.
In the dawn of nationality, poetry in
Portuguese-Galician was widely popular in the
Northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. There are
many works in both lyrical and epic poetry. The
Portuguese poets best-known throughout the world
are Luís de Camões and Fernando Pessoa, but
modern Portuguese poetry (since the 19th century)
has its roots in a handful of relevant poets,
from neo-classicists to contemporaries. Prose
developed later than verse and first appeared in
the 14th century in the shape of short
chronicles, lives of saints, and genealogical
treatises. The tradition of the chroniclers began
with Fernão Lopes, who compiled the chronicles of
the reigns of three kings of that time. He
combined a passion for accurate statement with a
special talent for descriptive writing and
portraiture. Eanes de Zurara, Gil Vicente and
Priest António Vieira are some pre-modern
Portuguese writers. But it is modern Portuguese
literature that is better known internationally,
especially the works of Almeida Garrett,
Alexandre Herculano, Eça de Queirós, Sophia de
Mello Breyner Andresen, António Lobo Antunes and
the recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize for
literature, José Saramago.
