Amália Rodrigues | Actress/Singer

Amália Rebordão Rodrigues GCSE, GCIH, better known as Amália Rodrigues or popularly as Amália, was a Portuguese fadista and actress. Known as the 'Rainha do Fado', Rodrigues was instrumental in popularising fado worldwide and travelled internationally throughout her career. She became one of the most important figures during the genre's revival in the twentieth century and was a leading female fadista during her 50-year recording and stage career. Rodrigues remains an iconic figure and inspiration to other fado and popular music artists such as Madredeus, Dulce Pontes, and Mariza. As of 1999, she had sold over 30 million records worldwide. Amália remains the best-selling Portuguese artist of all times.
