Carminho, born Maria do Carmo Carvalho Rebelo de Andrade, is a cherished voice within the Portuguese music scene, particularly celebrated for her contributions to the traditional genre of Fado. Hailing from Lisbon, she was born into a family deeply rooted in fado’s heritage; her mother, Teresa Siqueira, is also a renowned fado singer. Carminho's career blossomed after her debut album "Fado," released in 2009, which signaled the arrival of a heartfelt interpreter of Portugal’s soulful music tradition, featuring both classic and contemporary fado tunes.

With subsequent albums like "Alma" (2012), "Canto" (2014), and "Maria" (2018), Carminho forged her path, receiving critical acclaim for her emotional depth and vocal mastery. Her album "Carminho Canta Tom Jobim" (2016) celebrated the legacy of Brazilian songwriter Antônio Carlos Jobim and showcased her versatility and global appeal. Carminho’s ability to blend the melancholic tones of fado with an array of musical influences while maintaining its core essence has positioned her as one of the genre's leading modern voices. Her passionate performances and growing repertoire, highlighted in her more recent singles like "O quarto" and "Estrela," continue to enrich and expand the boundaries of Portuguese music.
