Lenita Gentil is one of the few remaining matriarchs of the fado. She has a fado career of over 40 years, and is of the old school of fado singers. Fadistas like Lenita are the inspiration of the younger generation of both male and female fado singers like Mariza, Joana Amendoeira and Camane.

If you wish to be taken back to the heart of old Lisbon and the Bairro Alto where fado was born, listening to Lenita will definitely do this for you.
