The soul of Portugal is captured in its Fado music.  Literally translated as �fate� it is a sound that somehow combines heartbreak, stoicism, and elation all at once. The undisputed queen of this unique music was the late great Amalia Rodrigues, whose  legacy has set the bar for all Fadistas to come. �The Art of Amalia� is a reverent portrait of the Diva, with interview and concert footage that will delight any fan of Fado, and enrapture the new listener. From her impoverished start on the streets of Alfama, to her concerts before thousands of adoring fans, a staggering body of work emerges, from a woman who dedicated herself completely to her art.
