Alfredo Rodrigo Duarte ComIH (25 February 1891 – 26 June 1982), better known as Alfredo Marceneiro, was a Portuguese fado singer. His stage name is derived from his original profession as a joiner (marceneiro, in Portuguese).[1] Marceneiro is considered a standard against whom generations of fado singers are still measured.[2]
Marceneiro died on 26 June 1982.[3]On 10 June 1984 he was awarded posthumously Commander of the Order of Infante D. Henrique by the President of the Portuguese Republic, Ramalho Eanes.
