Young, yes, but Carminho is by far the greatest Fado singer by any measure. Beautiful voice in all ranges, and a truly authentic voice of the spirit of Fado. There are all unmistakable signs of a truly gifted singer with true commitment to the artform and the tradition. Powerfull and just brilliant! I first purchased ALMA, her next CD, in which you can definitely hear a maturing singer and her depth of interpretation, so I am going backwards in time buying her FADO CD second, but listening to her earlier recordings is also a true pleasure. Bravo, Bravo!!!!
Given that this is a European label, I paid around $16 or so for this. I wish the price point was a little cheaper. Given that I coul dnot buy it at the iTunes store, I am still glad that I bought the product. Now that I have downloaded th emusic, I plan to donte it to my local library so others can also enjoy this music.
I understand that many of the enemies of Franco and the Fascists of Spain don't like this music. I didn't like Franco but the music is on its own level. Especially sung by a woman who is too young to really have feeling for Franco. It is among the most emotional and passionette music I've ever heard.
This is a great example of the more recent trend in Fado. Well worth a listen for anyone interested in this wonderful tradition in music. The vendor processed this order very quickly and we received it within 10 days in spite of it being an international shipping.
Lovely voice, just not the depth of understanding at her young age as in older voices. Good pop sound, but most of the tunes sound very similar. Not much of the 'bite' or anguish felt from an older singer..
I heard Carminho sing a duet with Pablo Alboran and decided to try some more of her music. This was my introduction to Fado, and I believe it was a great choice. She has a beautiful voice. The recording quality was excellent.
Un superbe album de Carminho. Une voix mélodieuse dans la lignée se Marisa, un peu moins passionnée ou révoltée mais tout autant sensible et riche en émotion.
Bin über einen Fernsehbericht über Portugal auf die Interpretin aufmerksam gemacht worden. Da ich schon einiges über Fado habe (Mariza, Amalia) kaufte ich diese CD. Bin total begeistert! Carminho singt mit sehr viel Gefühl und die CD ist eine wunderbare Anschaffung!
She may look like a petulant French teenager on the cover but.... Carminho actually creates a startingly mature and sophisticated Fado. All acoustic - Portugese guitar, standard guitar and bass. The musicians are brilliant, the bass is notably good on many occasions, which is not something you typically notice in Fado! This is Fado with a twist - the twist being to totally respect the form and only modernise by giving a very light jazz feeling to say things like the bass (but it's only a vibe, a feeling). This is very much deep rooted Fado. Carminho's voice is wonderfully rich and full - a complete contrast to the more theatrical style of Mariza. The tracks are well chosen and split between faster tempo and the deep melancholic slow paced beauty of Fado. This is a very good CD - just ignore the hype in the world music press. I'd bought this CD a while ago and then it got released in the UK and the overblown hype almost turned me off. I decided to listen again. We really should leave Carminho space to develop. She's young and I'm sure able to offer many more great albums in the future. If you don't like Fado, this could be the CD to draw you in. It's accessible enough to interest someone with a liking of smokey jazz or blues singers.
