Carminho - Portuguesa

Carminho, born on August 20, 1984, is a Portuguese fado singer. She made her first public performance at the age of 12 at the Coliseu dos Recreios in Lisbon. She is considered a crossover artist whose eclectic work demonstrates the heritage of both traditional and contemporary fado and who also ventures into other genres such as MPB, jazz, and pop.

In 2023, she released the album Portuguesa, which was nominated for a Latin Grammy. The sixth album of her career contains fourteen compositions: several of her own songs as well as works by other authors, including traditional fados, through which she explores various combinations within the canons and reinterprets the form. With an extensive tour to present her album Portuguesa, Carminho's work was recognized with a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Portuguese Language Roots Album and a Golden Globe for Best Live Performance.
