Portuguese Fado star Carminho performs her hits at South Orange Performing Arts Center

South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC) welcomes Carminho, the renowned Fado popular songstress from Portugal. Carminho is set to perform songs from her latest studio release, “Portuguesa,” on Sunday, October 8th, 2023 at 7:00 p.m.

At just 38 years of age, Carminho has already earned a distinguished reputation as one of the greatest Fado vocalists ever. Her diverse repertoire draws inspiration from both classic and contemporary Fado. “Portuguesa,” her self-produced sixth album, follows the success of her acclaimed 2021 release, “Maria,” which attained Platinum status in Portugal, further cementing her standing as one of the world’s most eminent proponents of traditional Fado.

Carminho has performed at some of the most prestigious venues, from the Barbican Centre in London to Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg and the Konzerthaus in Vienna, and this year’s international tour will visit over twenty-five countries, including a stop at SOPAC in New Jersey, providing music fans with the opportunity to witness one of Portuguese music’s most unique talents.
