   The first fado singer of all times was this lady, Maria Severa, a lady from the streets that used

   to work on the streets. Do you know what I mean? “Fado Vadio” is a type of Fado that doesn’t follow any rules, it’s like a free and wild fado, sung mostly in the streets. This is the Fado that Maria Severa invented. You also have Fernando Mauricio, a legend in Mouraria and a fado singer, born and raised here. Later on, we will go deep on his and Maria Severa life.
