The world of Portuguese fado is full of emotion that is on display within seconds of this performance by vocalist Carminho.
She came to her extraordinary talents by way of hard work, intuition and genetics, since her mom, the singer Teresa Siqueira, is considered one of the giants of her generation.
As she explains, some of the songs from this performance come from the EP Carminho at Electrical Audio, a recording she did with renowned American music engineer Steve Albini, who passed away last year before they could celebrate the success of their collaboration.
The performance is a front-row seat to the joys and sorrows of the fado spirit, delivered by an artist that uses the genre as a base to explore other musical worlds, always coming back to a tradition that is centuries old.

El mundo del fado portugués está lleno de emoción, que se hace patente en los primeros segundos de esta actuación de la cantante Carminho.
Su extraordinario talento es fruto del esfuerzo, la intuición y la genética, ya que su madre, la cantante Teresa Siqueira, está considerada una de las grandes figuras de su generación.
Como ella misma explica, algunas de las canciones de esta actuación proceden del EP Carminho at Electrical Audio, una grabación que realizó con el renombrado ingeniero de sonido estadounidense Steve Albini, fallecido el año pasado antes de que pudieran celebrar el éxito de su colaboración.
La actuación es un asiento en primera fila para disfrutar de las alegrías y las penas del espíritu del fado, interpretadas por una artista que utiliza el género como base para explorar otros mundos musicales, volviendo siempre a una tradición que se remonta a siglos atrás.
