Hi there

My name is Matilde and I’m passionate about Fado, the traditional Portuguese music known for its sad melodies and deep cultural history. I’m undertaking a research project to explore Fado’s music, history, and cultural significance.

To make this research possible, I’m seeking support for:

1. Books and Academic Resources (£200): 5 Essential books & scores

2. Field Research in Lisbon (£300): Travel to the Museum of Fado and Amalia Rodrigues’ home in Lisbon, where I can study artifacts, recordings, and engage with experts firsthand.

Your support will help preserve and understand this beautiful tradition and allow me to share my findings with a wider audience. Every contribution brings me closer to uncovering the history and artistry behind Fado.
