 MSN Encarta - Multimedia - Traditional Fado Song of Portugal
The Coimbra fado is a folk music form popular among students at the University of Coimbra in Portugal, one of the oldest universities in Europe.
Reaching its peak of popularity during the early part of the 1910s and 1920s, fado was rooted in melancholic traditional Portuguese folksongs, religious hymns, and Brazilian melodies brought to the country by Brazilian students who studied at the university.
Though fado eventually declined in popularity, it has since enjoyed nostalgic revivals in the 1950s and 1970s.

This may explain the different construction, structure and tuning of the Coimbra Guitar - with its roots in Oporto - and the Lisbon Guitar.
