Carminho at City Winery

Carminho live on Monday, October 9th at 8:00pm!

“Portuguesa” were ten days at Namouche studio in Lisbon, in March 2022 and the two years that preceded them. I keep looking for the vertigo where I can find, with new combinations of the same matrix, my identity. It’s the story I’ve been writing, my origins, influences and the music I see myself in.”

Carminho writes these first lines to summarize her new work entitled "Portuguesa". The great voice of fado and one of the Portuguese artists with the greatest international projection signs the production of the new album and with it traces a world tour.

Daughter of the renowned fado singer Teresa Siqueira, Carminho was born in the middle of guitars and fado voices, having marked her debut singing in public at the age of twelve, at Coliseu dos Recreios (Lisbon). Early on she was tempted to record albums but decided to wait.

She graduated in Marketing and Advertising and realized that singing required a maturity and a world she didn't yet have. For a year she travels the world, participates in humanitarian missions and returns to Lisbon determined to give herself entirely to an artistic career.

"Fado", her first album, is released in 2009. Reaches platinum (an enviable result for a debut), received the distinction of best album of 2011 from the British magazine "Songlines", performed at Womex 2011 (Copenhagen) and at UNESCO's Paris headquarters as part of Fado's application for world heritage status. To all this adds a tour in which she spreads her voice and talent through various territories. In the same year, she collaborates with Pablo Alborán in "Perdoname" and becomes the first Portuguese artist to reach number 1 in the Spanish charts.
