The best fado songs, their best performers and some of the most important musicians in Latin jazz today are joining an innovative album, "JazzInFado". This album seeks to widen the frontiers of fado, bringing together great fado singers, including Carlos do Carmo, Hélder Moutinho, Carminho, António Zambujo, Raquel Tavares, Marco Rodrigues, Ana Bacalhau, Cuca Rosetta, Maria Berasarte and Joana Almeida, who interpret emblematic themes of history of fado allied to the harmonies of Latin jazz.

"JazzInFado" celebrate the six years since the fado was raised to Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

The idea of joining these fado greats to jazz harmonies came from Óscar Gomez, a Cuban musician and producer, currently living in Spain, a five-time Grammy winner, a member of the Board of the Latin Grammy Academy and whose productions have sold more than 20 million records worldwide.

"I always liked being a transgressor and a rebel," says the producer. "What we did was to bring fado to jazz and harmoniously enrich it [...] and enter rhythms of the Caribbean, Flemish, Brazilian, bossa nova and tango. Enter the rhythms worked in Latin jazz and enrich the harmonies a little, always respecting, obviously, the melodies and the lyrics ".

"JazzInFado" was recorded between Madrid and Lisbon and on the recordings the fadistas were accompanied by mostly Cuban musicians, as is the case of Pepe Rivero or Ivan "Melon" Lewis.

"JazzInFado" is a unique object that highlights the immense richness of fado, but showing how this music also dialogues in an innovative way with jazz.

Wise is the traveler who dives into another culture without losing her own identity, who enables both visitor and host to see themselves in a new light. So it is that Carminho, a pre-eminent star of the fado renaissance, brings her made-in-Portugal voice to songs by the late Brazilian composer Antônio Carlos Jobim, the patriarch of bossa nova. An invitation from Jobim’s family prompted "Carminho Sings Tom Jobim," the offer including accompaniment by the master’s band—guitarist Paulo Jobim (son), pianist Daniel Jobim (grandson), cellist Jaques Morelenbaum and drummer Paulo Braga. The 14 tracks also include duets with Marisa Monte, Chico Buarque and Maria Bethânia. Carminho carefully chose songs in which the musicality of opposing accents is closely matched (among other things, Brazilian Portuguese is less formal and has more open vowels than its European counterpart). The Lisbon-Rio chemistry is especially good with Monte in "Estrada do Sol" (Road to the Sun): “Give me your hand,” they sing, “Let’s go outside without thinking/About what I’ve suffered/Because our morning has made me forget.” Carminho’s fado passion soars and dances on the crests of Wave: “I know from that wave that rose in the sea/And from the stars we forgot to count/That love lets itself be surprised/While the night comes to wrap itself around us.” Her fado melancholy perfectly suits the saudade that unites the two Lusophone cultures in Sabiá (Song of the Thrush), with Jobim’s metaphors for vanished love; and she floats elegantly through O Grande Amor (Great Love), proclaiming, “There’s always a man for every woman/Always a false love you have to forget.” In music as in love, all is reciprocal: A fado singer dives into the Jobim canon, and when she emerges both are refreshed. ~Alan Tigay

Maria do Carmo Carvalho Rebelo de Andrade (born 20 August 1984, in Lisbon), better known as Carminho, is a Portuguese fado and popular music singer. She comes from a family of musicians, since her mother, Teresa Siqueira, was a famous fado singer. She is considered one of the most talented and innovative fado singers of her generation. She can be considered as a crossover artist, since her eclectic work shows the heritage of both traditional and contemporary fado, as she also delves into other genres such as Brazilian popular music. Carminho earned stardom status in Spain after being featured on Pablo Alborán's "Perdóname" which was a number-one single in the Spanish charts.[2][3] Carminho's albums Fado and Alma have achieved Platinum and Gold status in Portugal selling more than 50,000 copies combined. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carminho

Carminho has been hailed as arguably the finest fado singer from her generation, a promise she seeks to confirm with her second album, Alma. Once again working with producer Diogo Clemente and the same A-list musicians featured on her acclaimed 2009 debut, Carminho lends her exquisite voice to an immaculate repertoire that includes both fado standards and new compositions, some even penned by the singer herself. Alma is also poised to become a success in the world music circuit, particularly in Spain, where Carminho's popularity grew following her 2011 duet with Spanish romantic pop singer Pablo Alborán, which reached the top of the charts. ~ Mariano Prunes https://www.allmusic.com/album/alma-mw0002336471

"I might not know who you are, but I know who I am.”

And things could be no different, when someone who sings these words is someone who has always perceived Fado to be her destiny, but who was only able to openly admit it after she truly understood who she was.
In 2009, Carminho sang "Fado". This was her fado, the one she owned since an early age, when she listened to her parents’ records, when she witnessed the gathering of fado singers in her own house and when, still a teenager, she began to sing in the Taverna do Embuçado. This "Fado" was the title of her first album, which was one of the most awaited albums in the new generation of fado singers: for those who had already heard Carminho, her talent was obvious, but they had to wait – until she finished her graduation, until she travelled the world, until she knew who she really was.

And her "Fado" became one of the most acclaimed albums in 2009. It went Platinum – an enviable outcome for a debut album. With "Fado", Portugal surrendered to Carminho’s voice and the doors of the world opened to her talent. It was considered best album 2011 by Songlines magazine, she had shows in European capital cities, in Womex 2011 (Copenhagen) and in the UNESCO headquarters, in Paris, within the scope of Fado as World Heritage candidate. Then came the invitation to participate in Pablo Alborán’s album, which became a phenomenon of popularity in both Portugal and Spain.
It was about time that “Fado” had a worthy successor. And it's just around the corner. On 5th March, Carminho reveals her "Alma" (Portuguese word for soul) with 15 new songs, an album again produced and directed by Diogo Clemente, again wisely combining cover versions and originals (in the special edition, the album has 17 songs and a DVD with Carminho live in concertin May 2011 at Lux Frágil, Lisbon.

The cover versions are less evident. Some not so well known songs by Amália ("Cabeça de Vento"), Dina do Carmo ("À Beira do Cais") or Fernanda Maria ("As Pedras da Minha Rua"), but also from Chico Buarque ("Meu Namorado", de "O Grande Circo Místico") or Vinicius de Moraes ("Saudades do Brasil em Portugal"). The original songs are by Diogo Clemente ("Bom Dia, Amor", about poet Fernando Pessoa), Mário Pacheco ("Talvez", lyrics by Vasco Graça Moura), and Vitorino ("Fado Adeus"). And there are also some new lyrics for traditional fado tunes – one of them, "Folha", written by Carminho herself, and another one, "Impressão Digital", a poem by António Gedeão.

And it is this mixture of past and present that allows us to unveil the future of Fado, in the unrivalled voice of Carminho. A voice which, in her second album, sustains all that Carminho sings in "Talvez": "I might not know who you are, but I know who I am”.
