Portuguese singer known as 'Rainha do Fado'
(Queen of 'Fado'), Amalia Rodrigues was Portugal's national treasure until her death in 1999.
Fado has recently been made popular by younger singers like Mariza but it's been around since the 1800s, passed down through an aural tradition in Portugal.
Here, Rodrigues is captured dressed in her customary black, backed by three virtuosi on guitar
live in concert in Japan in 1986.
