The globally beloved Portuguese genre of fado is already familiar to the Müpa audience, and now one of its greatest contemporary stars is visiting Budapest for the first time. Nominated for a Latin Grammy, Carminho is a true heir to her mother, Teresa Siqueira, and was celebrated as the genre’s great hope in 2005, even before she reached the age of 20. The singer has lived up to her promise, building a consistently high-quality oeuvre across six albums since her 2009 debut. Today, she continues to honour the traditions of fado while seamlessly integrating influences from Brazilian music (including a collaborative album with Tom Jobim and a joint song and tour with Caetano Veloso). Even jazz and pop elements blend harmoniously into her work. Her latest four-song live EP was recorded with the legendary producer Steve Albini.
