The last of the great masters of the Portuguese guitar has died.

The President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, today lamented the death of musician António Chainho, whom he described as 'a leading figure in the Portuguese guitar and fado' and 'an inspiring symbol for generations of instrumentalists'.

The musician would have turned 88 today. He ended a 60-year career in September 2024, having released his final album, 'O Abraço da Guitarra', that year.
