Original show description below.
One of Portugal’s shining stars makes her welcome return to Miner Auditorium with an enchanting evening of fado magic.
Fado’s ongoing renaissance shows no signs of slowing down, and the emergence of Carminho on the world stage is a sure sign that the haunting Portuguese style continues to thrive. With her luxuriantly rich voice and emotionally riveting stage presence, Carminho makes a highly anticipated return following her sold-out SFJAZZ performance in October of 2023.
The daughter of esteemed fadista Teresa Siqueira, the artist born Maria do Carmo Carvalho Rebelo de Andrade is steeped in the soul-bearing tradition, but she’s honing a palette that embraces influences from the far-flung Lusophone world, particularly Brazil, Angola and Cape Verde. After gaining attention outside of Portugal with her chart-topping 2011 duet on "Perdóname" with rising Andalusian pop star Pablo Alborán, she’s released six albums — four of which hit number one at home, including 2014’s Canto and 2016’s gorgeous bossa nova project Carminho Canta Tom Jobim.
Her latest Warner Music album, the self-produced Portuguesa, expands upon her skills as a composer while it shines a new light on timeless fado classics.
Heiress to the fado legacy as the daughter of world renowned fadista Teresa Siqueira and “the brightest young star in the firmament” (London Jazz News), Carminho is an innovator whose work incorporates influences from Brazil, America, and points beyond.
