Maria Teresa de Noronha
D. Maria Teresa do Carmo de Noronha, (November 7, 1918, Lisbon – July 4, 1993) was a Portuguesearistocrat and a fadosinger. As a granddaughter of the Counts of Paraty and Belmonte, she belonged to a family of the most ancient Nobility in the Iberian Peninsula, tracing her roots to the Royal Houses of both Portugal and Castile from the mid-14th century. Her artistic career spanned over 30 years and hers is considered one of the most unusual and beautiful fado voices. Her status as a ''fidalga'' meant, in the context of a conservative early 20th century Portugal, that she faced severe restrictions in having a professional artistic career. As such, she did not enjoy the projection of other great ''fadistas'' of her time.
