Carla Pontes is a portuguese soprano singer, born in Lisbon.

After several years in projects in the field of classical music, Carla Pontes released her 1st solo album titled "O Mar em Mim" in July, with eleven unpublished themes of a Portuguese variety.
2022 is the year in which the singer takes on her narrative of emotions and nostalgia, in a neo-fadista aesthetic, with several “world music” accents and a contemporary touch with electronic elements. However, classical instruments, such as the piano and cello, continue to be mixed.

The singer Carla Pontes and the producer Barqueiro, accept to dive into the journey of exchanging views and sensibilities, starting to explore original material, and go from port to port collecting shells and stars, molding themselves in listening and instinct, in search of the island of inspiration... this is how this route was born, "O Mar em Mim" and its eleven tributaries.

The MAR element is the central poetics of the record. The embarkation and disembarkation of stories and destinations, in a sea of sound that takes us and returns us, curled by the foam of crystalline dreams...

Two singles were released with the videoclip "O mar em mim" and "Andorinha". The album is already available on all digital platforms and also has a physical edition in CD format.
