António Zambujo is a renowned Portuguese musician, celebrated for his unique blend of traditional fado with contemporary styles and global influences. Born on September 19, 1975, in Beja, southern Portugal, Zambujo’s deep appreciation for music was cultivated at an early age. His voice, characterized by its delicate, melodic quality, has been a notable addition to the modern world of fado, a genre deeply embedded in the Portuguese soul.

Zambujo embarked on his musical journey by studying clarinet at the Conservatório Regional do Baixo Alentejo, but it was the allure of fado that ultimately captured his artistic spirit. His career took a significant turn after portraying Francisco da Cruz, a fabled fado singer of the 1950s, in the musical "Amália" by Filipe La Féria. This role earned him widespread recognition and acted as a springboard for his subsequent music ventures.

Over the years, António Zambujo has released a string of albums, each solidifying his status as a torchbearer for fado, while simultaneously breaking genre boundaries. With his works such as "Um Dia de Domingo" and "Cidade," he continues to charm audiences both in Portugal and internationally. Zambujo stands as a symbol of fado’s timelessness, adeptly introducing it to new generations while honoring its centuries-old traditions.
