Young fadista, already hailed as a major new voice on the contemporary fado scene.

Although tipped for some years as fado's brightest young newcomer, Carminho nonetheless took her time to record her debut album. Such is the respect she holds for the great fadistas that she grew up listening to, that she wanted to wait until she felt she had more life experience before she presented herself as a serious contender, so she took herself off for a year-long trip around the world. Now, still only 25, she's made the transition from brightest newcomer to rising star. With an emotional intensity that belies her years, her translucent voice connects her audiences with the raw soul of fado. Even if you don't understand the language, you know what she means. The album has finally emerged and the reviews are ecstatic. Catch a fado star in the making
