Aldina Duarte

Aldina Maria Miguel Duarte (born 22 July 1967) is a Portuguese fado singer, lyricist, and researcher. She has dedicated herself to the traditional Fado repertoire, having been described as a "hardcore fadista". Many fadistas have sung her lyrics, including Camané, Joana Amendoeira, António Zambujo, Pedro Moutinho, and Mariza.

Fado did not play a part in her young adult life. She worked in different jobs, including at a newspaper and at a radio station. At some point, she was an instructor on a professional training program at a cerebral palsy centre.
