Die Prinzessin des Fado
After the massive success achieved with her previous album “Carminho Canta Jobim” (2016), Carminho - considered one of the best Portuguese performers of all times- , is back with a new album out December 2018 on Warner Music Portugal and touring Germany in 2019.
“Maria” will be her fifth album and probably the most personal body of work to date since it’ll feature several self-written tracks and was produced by Carminho herself. Furthermore, she was also involved in the Executive Production of this project, alongside João Pedro Ruela, Diogo Alves, Marta Pelágio and Ruela Music.
The album features the musicians Bernardo Couto (on Guitarra Portuguesa) on “O Menino e a Cidade”, “A Mulher Vento” and “Se Vieres”. Collabs by José Manuel Neto on “O Começo” and “Quero Um Cavalo De Várias Cores” – as well as Luis Guerreiro on three tracks: “Sete Saias”, “Poeta” and “Pop Fado”.
Besides featuring Flávio César Cardoso on the traditional instrument Viola de Fado, José Marino de Freitas on Acoustic Bass; João Paulo Esteves da Silva on Piano and Filipe Cunha Monteiro on Pedal Steel / Electric guitar, Carminho plays electric guitar on “Estrela”.
