Maria Severa Onofriana (July 26, 1820 – November 30, 1846), also known simply as A Severa, was a Portuguese fado singer and guitarist. She is regarded as the first fado singer to have risen to fame in her short life, attaining a near-mythical status after her death. Fado has been described as the Portuguese expression of 'the blues,' and fado roughly means fate.
