“Carminho has a voice both beautifully translucent and stunning in its emotional charge… it’s impossible not to break when in the presence of this remarkable performer.” – Songlines, United Kingdom
Carminho is Portugal’s brightest new fado star, considered to be one of the most talented and innovative singers of her generation. Her performances need to be seen live and cannot be missed, as she is lauded for her potent but tender voice, which perfectly matches with Portuguese guitars.
Her first album, Fado, was listed among the Ten Best Albums of 2011 by the prestigious British magazine Songlines. Her second album, Alma (meaning “Soul”), topped the Portuguese charts upon its release in 2012, while also standing out in several international charts. At the end of 2012, after more than 90 performances in Portugal and around the world, Carminho fulfilled an old dream: recorded with Milton Nascimento, Chico Buarque and Nana Caymmi, which led to a new edition of Alma. Both albums have achieved Platinum status in Portugal. In 2013, Carminho was awarded the Portuguese Golden Globe for Best Solo Artist and the Carlos Paredes Prize.
In 2016, Carminho continues her voyage. Her latest album, Canto (meaning “Singing”), confirms the future of a singer who is already one of the most internationally renowned artists in Portugal.
