Portuguese fado star Carlos Do Carmo was born pn December 21, 1939 in Lisbon, Portugal. Carlos Do Carmo is known as “The voice of the fado”, Portugal’s folk song. After numerous recordings and with hundreds of performances in his resume, the new generations always take him as a point of reference.
Son of the great fado singer Lucilia Do Carmo, he has disseminated Portuguese popular music like no other has done. He has contributed in changing the sad image of the fado and each performance of his is a delight to be witnessed. At times he tells us, and he sings, that songs have ceased to belong to their authors so as to pass themselves on to the people who immortalize them.
