description: "Maria Severa Onofriana, also known simply as A Severa, was a Portuguese fado singer and guitarist. She is regarded, in her short life, as the first fado singer to have risen to fame, attaining a near-mythical status after her death. Fado has been described as the Portuguese expression of \"the blues\", and fado roughly means 'fate'."
