Admired by fans in Portugal and abroad, the singer is today counted among the purest and most passionate voices of this fervent and melancholic song: fado.
Daughter of fado singer Teresa Siqueira, Carminho grew up immersed in the melodies and traditions of this musical style, making her first public performance at the age of twelve. However, the artist’s journey was marked by moments of maturity and self-discovery, including a break to graduate in Marketing and Advertising and experiences traveling the world on humanitarian missions. These experiences took her back to Lisbon, ready to dedicate herself fully to her artistic career.
Carminho’s career is a story of passion, growth and achievements, which has made her one of the most iconic fado artists and an ambassador of Portuguese music around the world. With each album, she reinvents her art, keeping the fado tradition alive and captivating new audiences. Carminho is truly a voice that transcends borders and generations, and her impact on music is incomparable.
